Top 6 Caves around Vallbona D'Anoia

The Capellades prehistoric park is a cultural facility located in the Cinglera del Capelló, the cliff on which the town of Capellades sits, in the Catalan region of l'Anoia. This area, in addition to its geological and landscape value, has great archaeological value, due to the presence of around twenty sites from various periods. The cliff itself is one of the park's attractions. Its origin is in the action of carbonated waters that, by fossilizing plant colonies, form fall travertines, a type of fossil waterfall that is locally called "capellons". Its growth formed cornices, grottoes and caves that were used as shelter by groups of prehistoric settlers. One of these caves constitutes the best preserved Paleolithic archaeological site in the complex, known as "l'Abric Romaní", used as a refuge by groups of Neanderthals and which has been excavated since 1983.

Les Deus is a natural site of Sant Quintí de Medionai is a space where there are 23 sources of water in a beautiful area to take a break.

Three large blocks in the middle of the Migdia stream make up a good "duplex" with dining room, bedroom for 4-5 people, garden and terrace with views of the Plecs del Llibre. One of the bivouacs with the most atmosphere given its privileged location and low attendance. On calm nights, the silence is so penetrating that the fall of a leaf already produces a noticeable noise. It is the ideal base for climbing the Plecs, the Cajoleta or the Montgròs. To get water, the nearest spring is that of La Cadireta, located below the Salamandra before overcoming the singular passage between rocks. The approach can be made both from Santa Cecília along the Coll del Migdia path, and from Can Jorba along the Camí dels Francesos (1.20 hours). It should be noted that if we do it from the N then we will have to climb again to the Col del Migdia, and if we do it from the S the return will be all downhill, with the incentive of going down the interesting ravine of the Joc de l Goose to round off the day.

A natural area where you can enjoy lakes, pools, caves and waterfalls. Les Deus are a series of 23 fountains in a row - the water comes from a main source of the Carme Capellades aquifer. In high season, people take advantage of the lakes as a bathing area. On the highest part there is a restaurant and a bar with views and below there is a picnic area. There is also an adventure park where there is via ferrata etc.

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.

It was located at the head of the torrent of the same name, under the rocks known as the viewpoint of Sant Joan, about fifty meters below the hermitage of Sant Joan, a little to the right of the ravine, facing south, at an altitude of 985 meters. For the construction, a wide balma was used, in which some parts of the walls are still standing, holes to point the beams, and, above all, the important pipes worked in the rock, of considerable depth and very well distributed for water conduction. Due to its excellent orientation towards the south and well sheltered, it had a reputation for sheltering many nests, especially nightingales and blackbirds, so much so that it was known by the Montserrat Birdhouse.
