Description
Morphology
An entrance of 0.8 x 0.6 m that leads to a descending chamber, located 1.5 m below the entrance. This chamber descends gently and after 6 m of passage the mouth of a shaft with a 2.5 m drop opens up. From here on the gallery gradually narrows until it ends closed in a short gallery 3 m long by 1 m wide.
Speleothems
The short gallery 3 m long by 1 m wide is heavily decorated with formations.
History
Known for a long time by the inhabitants of Roda de Berà and visited for its easy access. On 5-5-1968 members of the GE Talaia (Vilanova i la Geltrú) surveyed it and later published a note in Espeleòleg.
Toponymy: In the first reference it appears as Floresso, at the entrance an old piece of graffiti can still be seen reading Flaselo and on the signpost it appears as Flareso. In the absence of further information we keep the oldest name.
