Caratteristiche

Località

From Pontons take the BV-2441 road towards Santes Creus. At km 11.1 a track branches off to the right and descends to the riera and the font de la Gatelleta, where the car must be left. We continue on foot in a NW direction for a little more than 100 metres through the forest and with no path until we reach a scree slope that must be climbed, from where the caves can already be seen.
