Description

This recently equipped sector lies on the hillside above and right of the Cova Gran. The rock is mostly excellent and the climbing is steep and interesting. Orientation: south.

Approach: From Avellanes follow the LV-9042 road into the village of Santa Linya. At the entrance to the village turn sharp left onto a narrow road (signposted Estació
FGC 6km) and drive up this for 250m to where it skirts the top end of the village and the road becomes an unsurfaced track. Continue driving eastwards along the track for approximately 600m to a Y- junction. Take the right-hand fork and follow this slightly downhill, passing a concrete marker on the right with a number “1” painted on it after 100m. Keep driving past a second concrete marker (this time adorned with a number “2”) and continue for a further 600m to a sharp right-hand bend (1.8km from the Y junction). There is trackside parking for several vehicles just after the bend on the right (P3) but do not block the track! The sector lies on the hillside above the parking area and is approached using a path up the right-hand side of a dry streambed (3 minutes from P3). Note 1: although the track is in good condition, due to the very steep slope below and the lack of protective crash barriers, it requires the utmost of care while driving. It is completely unsuitable for larger motorhomes! Note 2: if the limited parking places below the sector are already used up there is spacious lay-by approximately 950mbefore reaching P3, from where it will be necessary to proceed on foot. Note 3: turning your vehicle around at P3 can be very tricky, especially if other cars are parked there. It is better to continue driving downhill for several hundred metres to where the track levels out and turning there.
