Restricted Access

A new approach path appears to have has been created for access to Gandia. Presumably as a result of the recent closure. It starts at the first lay by on the right (Just before the ford). If the river is running you may get wet! From the lay-by follow the path down and right to cross the riverbed. Two cairns currently mark the exit on the far side. The path then weaves its way up the wooded slope to arrive at Sector Fundico. 
 

Access temporary restricted at Marxuquera only due to landowner issues: https://www.thecrag.com/discussion/6735629370/prohibicin-temporal--temporary-climbing-ban

 

Access for Bovedos is now the same for Bovedon/Bovedin but keep walking along, the crag has a sign post after Bovedon cave to show the two paths to reach other sectors.

12m.

Rockfax Description
An oddity up the hole; it eases as soon as you can get established in the tube. A couple of threads might be useful and a narrow side branch may be of interest. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
The actual name of this climb thru the hole is "Patxi Saez". And pequeño Saltamontes is a 6a+ around the lip outside the cave

βeta: Fun, but a direct finish seems more obvious.

βeta: Easy route for the grade but worth it for the tube - check out the second little cave off the tube whilst you're there.

βeta: Great route - s Fiend says, more an experience. It has been debolted in the hole, but can be easily protected with a couple of slings.

βeta: F5 and 2 stars (for extended version). An experience rather than a climb, definitely one for the Brits. Tube is fun, then stick as low as possible for the best climbing on the traverse.

βeta: This gets 6a+ in the two local guides I have seen. Just becasue the hard moves are just off the floor doesn't mean they don't count.

βeta: A bit of a one move wonder. Hard to get off the ground, very easy after that.
