Description

Morphology

It is about 5 metres deep by 10 metres wide, and about 2 metres high at the entrance, with the ceiling descending progressively towards the end.

Progression

To reach it, we will descend down the rock itself, in an E direction, beside the holm oaks and box trees. Further down, we will soon find a small abandoned path. We will come to a crossroads of trails; first we will follow the one on the right, keeping level, following a small track through the middle of the crag that will quickly bring us to the shelter.

History

The only data we know about the cavity are those provided by Salvador Codina, who explored it in 2003.
