How to get here
Leave Barcelona via the tunnels of Vallvidrera towards Terrassa-Manresa or exit from Barcelona to Manresa via Terrassa.
Take the Terrassa to Manresa motorway and exit at Sant Vicenç de Castellet (exit 41).
After the toll booth, take the first road (C55) on the right, towards Manresa.
After 8 km, at the entrance of Manresa, take the road on the right towards "Center històric".
You will find a roundabout, take the first exit. In about 200 meters you will see the "Seu-Cathedral" of Manresa, a top on a hill.
The large building, to the right of the Seu, is the Cave of Saint Ignatius. It is advisable to continue along the road.
When you reach a bridge, turn to the right, you will pass another roundabout and you should take the first exit. There's a bit of an uphill bend.
On the first street to the right, keep going uphill, you will find a street on the right and another on the left (a sign that says "Centre d’Espiritualitat Cova de Manresa"), take the one on the left and you will find the parking lot at the end (it's free).
* Another possibility is to take the train in Plaça de Catalunya (RENFE) from Barcelona to Manresa. As you exit the Manresa station you will see a very large building, and on foot, crossing a bridge over the river, it will be about a 10 minute walk, or you can take a taxi.
