Description
Morphology
The entrance, 2 by 1 metres, gives way, by means of a ramp with a 3-metre drop, to a room 30 by 10 metres and 4 in height. At the end of this room and, by means of a small corridor, we reach another room 15 metres long by 6 wide and only 1 high. This room continues through a narrow gallery of about 20 metres in length, which leads us to a small crawlway of difficult penetration that gives access to the final room of about 15 metres in length by 5 wide and 1 in height.
Speleothems
In the first room an advanced graviclastic process and some forms of reconstruction can be observed. The floor of the second room is covered by a flowstone and, as in the entrance room, a graviclastic process and some forms of reconstruction are observed. The final room remains closed by a flowstone.
Progression
The entrance gives way, by means of a ramp with a 3-metre drop, to a room. At the end of this room and, by means of a small corridor, another room is reached. This room continues through a narrow gallery of about 20 metres in length, which leads to a small crawlway of difficult penetration that gives access to the final room.
History
Known since ancient times by the people of the area, who had used it as a refuge in times of wars.
