The municipality of la Quar, in the Berguedà, has 4 caves, all of them catalogued as Cova. Together they total 119 m of passage and reach a maximum depth of 20 m. The Cova del Massana is the longest, at 43 m, followed by the Balma Molosa and the Cova de la Canal del Sant, both at 32 m, and by the Balma de les Heures, at 12 m.

The cavities develop in two types of rock: Conglomerate, present in 3 of the caves, and Sandstone, in 1. The Balma Molosa is the largest rock shelter in the Berguedà, north-facing, with the rec dels Vinyals inside it. The Cova de la Canal del Sant, small and ascending, has a chimney of +20 metres and served as a hiding place for emboscats during the civil war (1936-39); it was located and explored by Nil Hosta in May 2026. The Balma de les Heures, walled, is about 50 metres wide and 5 metres high on average, and has been known since time immemorial.
