l'Esplugueta

L'Esplugueta is located in the Serra de Sant Gervàs (Tremp), at the base of the cliffs, about 90 metres away to the W of the Cova Gran and in a small corner, with the entrance completely covered by vegetation.

There are a couple of options for getting there. One of them can be done from the Torre de Tamúrcia (Tremp): after the village you must take a track to the left in the direction of Casa Jaumet, cross the barranc de Miralles (from here on, a 4x4 vehicle) and the corrals de Sallants, where we will leave the vehicle 10 minutes from the ermita de Sant Gervàs.

There is another access which, although longer in distance, is gentler: you must take the road from Senterada to Pont de Suert and turn off towards Adons (Pont de Suert); once in the village we will leave the vehicle and follow the path that climbs up to the Pas del Portús; once past this we will follow the base of the cliff towards the W, as far as the Forat Roig, which is almost a kilometre away, and from there to the cova Gran there is another kilometre. This whole stretch is done along a faint path between scree and boxwood, with an occasional cairn.
