Small cave with a passage of 30 metres in the Montsec d'Ares, Sant Esteve de la Sarga, located in the barranc del Queixigar.

Caratteristiche

Località

It is located in the barranc del Queixigar, 30 metres to the left of the thalweg and 10 metres above it, at the base of a 4-metre-high cliff and near the point where the ravine makes a marked bend. This ravine lies between the barranc de Matamala to the W and the barranc de Comarques to the E, being a tributary of the barranc de l'Obaga Gran. The first explorers indicate that it is 45 minutes to the W of Alsamora; we do not know whether paths for approaching from this village still exist. Coordinates without much precision.
