Marçà • Priorat84m43m

A 43-metre-deep pit on the Turó de la Miloquera, Marçà, explored and surveyed by the Espeleo Club de Gràcia in 1979.

Characteristics

Location

On the Turó de la Miloquera, Marçà. From the S side, from the church square, we will follow the carrer de la Bassa and take the camí del Castell; at the end of it we will find the Parc de les Olors de la Miloquera and the Mediterranean turtle interpretation centre. From their car park, we will head SW, pass over the summit of the Miloquera and, continuing in the same direction, pass the different entrances of the fissure that forms the Miloquera. Once we reach the entrance of the pou del Cireret, we will go about 50 metres to the 0, where we will find the avenc de la Miloquera Amagada at the base of a small tectonic fault. From the entrances of the pous del Pastoret and dels Ossos, we should head NE for about 70 metres to find the cavity. Approximate coordinates.

Description

Morphology

A small 0.3-metre entrance gives access to a ledge formed by blocks wedged between the walls. Continuing in a NE direction, after a few metres it narrows, preventing passage. The continuation is through a -24-metre pit followed by a 10º ramp, a chaos of blocks and another pit that takes us to a depth of -43 metres, where the cavity ends among blocks.

History

We do not know who the first explorers were, but the first documented mention of which we are aware is that of the Espeleo Club de Gràcia, who explored and surveyed it in 1979.
