Location

At Les Casetes d'en Julià (Vallirana) you must take the road to the left that leads to Olesa de Bonesvalls, passing through Can Prunera and the Pla de Bassioles residential area. On reaching the Can Olivella residential area, already in the municipality of Olesa, there are two streets on the left, Carrer de l'Avenc and Carrer del Bosc dels Palillos. At the junction of the latter with the road (Carrer Diputació) you must leave the car and go down to the bed of the Fondo del Molí, follow it downstream and after a few metres, on the right, the mouth of the cavity can be seen.

Description

Morphology

An entrance 1.50 x 0.70 m that gives access to a drop of just over one metre and from there to a small pit of 5 m. It continues through a narrow passage and a further drop to end in a rounded little chamber that is also the base of a chimney that very nearly opens to the surface. Choked by fine sediment.
