Description
Morphology
A wide mouth gives access to a pit -20 metres deep. Almost halfway down this pit there is a point where the section becomes narrower, then widens again immediately. The base of the pit communicates with a large window that opens onto the cliff, 20 metres above the sea.
History
Based on the information provided by Narcís Arbusé, the SIE del CE Àliga explored and surveyed it on 29 December 2006, during the campaign that this group carried out in the massís del Montgrí.
On 8 September 2007 members of the ERE del CEC, on returning from a day at the beach at the cala Pedrosa, see a trail with some cairns and decide to follow it, reaching the cavity. Unaware of the previous exploration carried out by the SIE, they return the following week and survey it.
It seems that this cavity had already been explored years earlier, very probably in the late 90s or early 2000, by a group of young people who accompanied Narcís Arbusé, in which some firefighters from Torroella also occasionally took part. In fact, during the ERE's visit to the cavity they observed that it was equipped with “anchor plates” that had been in place for quite some time.
