Caratteristiche

Località

Located at the church of Santa Magdalena, on the outskirts of Pontons. We will follow the track that passes along the west side of the cemetery; we will soon find a farmhouse on the left and then we will turn off to the left. You must follow the track that runs parallel to the riera dels Carbons until reaching les Roques Grans. After covering 1.37 kilometres from the church of Santa Magdalena, we will leave the track on the right and must climb up a scree slope towards the base of a small cliff where the cavity is found, located about 47 metres from the track.
