This is the highest pool in Torrent de la Cabana, as well as the largest and deepest of the 7 pools on the official route. A few meters further up there is the Bar la Parada del Gorg open from April to November, only holidays and weekends (in August it is open every day).

The largest and deepest gorg of the 7. It has a nice waterfall. Ideal for bathing and relaxing with family, friends and dogs. In the summer months there is a bar if you fancy an ice cream or coffee. In the middle of summer it gets very crowded, so for a quieter experience I recommend coming during the week or out of season.

The blowers are holes or slits through which a current of air comes out. It is worth the walk through the wonderful place where the holes are located, since its location in the lower part of the Sierra dels Bufadors creates a special microclimate, with large boulders covered in moss and a very particular flora. It is not a very large area, elongated and more or less narrow. We have to look at the holes in the floor. If we approach it we will notice that the air coming out is cold. Sometimes you can hear it whistling inside, hence the name blowers. As we progress we will find more holes. Some of them have been reviewed by speleological experts. Here the ground is unstable and it is not advisable to enter the blowers. It is a place of great beauty that has a magical air.

the Graell de Cal Pigot or Griell, according to the map of Editorial Alpina, is a grade with equipped parts that allows us to save the cliff of Malanyeu, also called the Feixadeta. Go along the left bank, in the direction of travel, of the Rec del Griell which in this section forms a canal with some jumps. The first stepped section we find a knotted rope to overcome it, especially not to slip, as it is usually very wet. We overcome the second section with the help of a moving metal ladder that has known better times. Once this is over, the canal closes and does not allow progress, providentially we see that the wall on the right is perforated and invites us to cross it. In fact there is no other option. Once on the other side we are inside the canal where the Rec that forms a waterfall goes down, being careful not to put our feet in it, we turn right helping ourselves with our hands around the spur that forms the rock perforated until it reaches a small relief. We face the waiting half climbing until we reach the top of the cliff. Depending on the rainfall regime we will have more or less risk of getting wet.

In order to be able to enjoy the surroundings in peace, it is better to go during the week and outside the high bathing season. In any case, it is quite difficult.
