Small pit 16 metres deep in the Campgràs area, Sitges.

Characteristics

Location

From the road closed to traffic that goes to the Campgràs doline, we must take the path that passes by the avenc de la Silvia, Asensio, Lluís Sola and Llambrics and that comes back out onto the road at the height of the Campgràs doline. On being at the flat ground where the pit of the Sílvia is found, a small path in a southerly direction will lead us to the beginning of a ridge where we will find the avenc B-3, following along the spine of this ridge, parallel to the path indicated above in an easterly direction, we will reach the cavity when we are at the height of the pit of the Asensio. The mouth opens at the bottom of a doline 3 metres deep.
