Directions to start	From the N332 to the N of Oliva take the CV638 towards La Font d’en Carros. Drive for 2.6km under the motorway to reach a set of traffic lights where you turn L at a sign to Tossal Gros into the Urb Bella Vista. Follow the zig-zag road steadily uphill ignoring side turnings to arrive at a T-jnc with a plan of the urbanisation and here turn L. When you drop down hill a little you reach a cross roads with a (closed) Tossal restaurant on the RHS. Go straight across this and zig-zag uphill to arrive at a fenced enclosure (masts) where the road ends and a track starts. Park here.
