History
The avencs Ramon Valls, Bessons and Vell were known to Gilberto, who was a tenant farmer of the Pleta until the middle of 1964. In the early summer of 1958 this man accompanied members of the SES-Puigmal to the mouth of what would be the avenc Ramon Valls and which they fully explored on 17 August of that same year (not 1960 as is said in the Garraf catalogue). The other nearby avencs (Bessons, Vell and Mig) were also explored by this group at the same time.
