Avenc del Spit

Petit avenc de 6 m de fondària a Garraf

Sitges • Garraf6m6m

Small 6 m deep pit in Garraf, formed by a single vertical shaft with no continuation.

Characteristics

Location

From the Pla de Querol car park, continue along the road towards la Plana Novella for a little more than 200 metres; here, on the left, there are two small esplanades and in a S direction a broad ridge begins between two torrents that descend towards the fondo de les Coves or del Pla dels Senyals. You pass by the pits of l'Estrena and l'Esbit, as if heading towards the avenc dels Aragalls, but you must gradually bear to the right and about 15 m above the ravine is the pit.

No survey is available.

History

While checking some points of the LIDAR map in the field, in early May 2026, Josep Guarro, Joan Carles Juderias and Jordi Perera located this small pit, unpublished in the Garraf catalogue, but at its mouth they found an old spit, a sign that it had already been explored previously.

We do not know who carried out this exploration and when, nor whether at some point it was given a name that, obviously, we do not know.
