Description
Morphology
A small entrance leads to a very narrow 3 metre pit. A slight slope leads to a 17 centimetre crawl and once past it you reach a small chamber from which a 6 metre pit descends to another heavily concretioned small chamber. A 14 metre pit follows and then another of 15. At its bottom, through a passage between concretions, you can reach a side chamber, high and narrow, beautifully ornamented. In the final section you can access a lower small chamber that marks the point of maximum depth.

Located on 5 February 1992 by members of the Espeleo Grup de la UM Eramprunyà (Gavà) while practising ladder climbing on the nearby walls of the El Poal area (Castelldefels). The small original hole had to be cleared and in the following days the full exploration was carried out.
