Description

Morphology

Formed by an ascending passage about 5 m long that descends as it advances. Shortly before the end, on the right, a short branch leads to a second entrance almost choked by blocks.

History

An anonymous correspondent reported its existence to the colleagues of Espeleodijous, who located and visited it in early July 2024.

According to oral tradition, it is an old smugglers' refuge.
