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 to approach from this village still exist.

Coordinates without much precision.
