Description
Morphology
It is a large rock shelter: it is 83 m long and 9 m deep, with a maximum height of 8.5 m. The north and south ends are covered with vegetation.
Speleothems
On the ceiling, various points are stained with soot from fumaroles.
Hydrology
At the northern end there is a small drip that forms a small stream of water in the lower part of the cavity.
Progression
From the point at km 13.3 on the BV-4341 road, a forest track leads to the Font farmhouse; after passing the house and about 1700 m, there are some livestock farms where the car is left to continue on foot and descend to the rock shelter, just below the farms.
