Avenc de l'Agulla

Ínfima cavitat de 4 m. de fondària a Garraf (Gavà)

Gavà • Baix Llobregat7m4m

Tiny cavity 4 m deep in Garraf (Gavà), formed along a N45O-trending joint.

Characteristics

Location

Leaving via the track that runs from Campgràs toward the fondo de les Terradelles and becomes a wide path following the entire contour of the rubbish dump beside the high-tension line, you must go all the way to the end. From here a small trail follows very close to the ridge to the mouth of the pit, very close to spot height 426 (on the Alpina publisher's map it is marked as Cavall Bernat ??). This ridge is the one that separates the vall de Joan and the last outlet on the right of the Sot de l'Infern, shortly before its slope drops suddenly.

Description

Morphology

This tiny pit is formed along a N45O-trending joint and consists of a small shaft followed by a short ramp with small clastic materials, ending in a small chamber.

Speleothems

The final small chamber shows a fairly developed lithogenic process.

History

We only knew of the exploration carried out by members of GES-CMB around 1959. In the latest editions of the Alpina map it appears marked as avenc de la Rèvola, since in 1999 Lluís Muntan located it and gave it this name because at the mouth there was a good clump of madder (Rubia peregrina).
