Description
Morphology
Welcoming rock shelter with a table with four seats in the shape of a mushroom. At the southern end of the rock shelter there is a spring.
Hydrology
The spring at the southern end of the rock shelter is captured immediately to carry the water to a masonry tank located in the rock shelter itself. Inside the tank there are three overflows at different levels. The lowest connects with a hose that carries the water to the house of la Pardinella. The surplus water passes to the second overflow to gush out through the spring located inside the rock shelter. And if there is still water left over it exits through the third overflow to gush out at the font de la Balma, located at the foot of this, of solid construction with stone walls and basins.
History
Well known for a long time by hikers. Mentioned, with hardly any data, in the most recent speleological catalogues. Visited by Ferran Cardona (ECMB) in July 2020 while carrying out the cataloguing work.
