A known cave beside the road to the Margalef reservoir, in the Montsant, about a hundred metres long with a very wide column.

Caratteristiche

Località

From Margalef we take the T-713 towards Ulldemolins. At km 8.2 the paved road leading to the Margalef reservoir begins. After 750 m we pass the old mill of el Vilar, and after 450 m we see the cova de la Jaia, which forces the road to make a slight detour. A few metres further on we find the cova del Mas de n'Arques. A little further on, at a pronounced bend in the road, we find this cavern.
