Characteristics

Location

From carrer de la Punta del Milà in l'Escala, we will head to the Neus campsite, already in the municipality of Torroella de Montgrí, following the paved track that exists on this stretch and that leads to l'Estartit. When the paved track ends, we must make a 180-degree turn to the left, and follow the track until we reach the start of a long straight that leads to the Punta Ventosa; at this point we find a crossroads, we will follow the left-hand path for 365 metres, entering the wood on the left, where after 78 metres we will find the cau Sense Nom; from here we must laboriously cross a wood of kermes oaks where after 92 metres we will find the cavity.

The cavity can also be reached from the quarry that is on the paved track that leads to l'Estartit. From the quarry we must cross the road and climb straight up the slope in a NE direction for 165 metres, where we will find the cavity in the middle of a wood of kermes oaks.

Description

Morphology

A large 9X3.5 metre entrance that you do not see until you are on top of it, gives access to a wide shaft of just over -9 metres deep.

History

Due to its dimensions, which made it quite visible, we suppose that, like the rest of the nearby cavities in this sector, it must also have been explored by the GIS de Girona during the 1970s.

During the campaign carried out by the SIE-CEA in 2007, it was found and catalogued as Cau del Còrrec de les Guilles.
