    Tips

    April 27, 2022

    On the northern slope of the Serrat del Cabrit, there is a deep torrent hidden in the shade of holm oaks: the Coma Alta. This torrent, usually dry, descends in a SW direction until it reaches a vertical jump of 50 meters. At the foot of this jump, we find the Cova de l'Arcada. Unlike the Salnitre, the Arcada is not underground and has a small entrance. It's just the opposite: open and shallow, but of colossal size. Its monumental arch is approximately 30 meters high by 60 meters wide and 10 meters deep. Canyoning enthusiasts can access it from above, through the Torrent de la Coma Alta, abseiling to the entrance of the cave.
