Characteristics

Location

From l'Estartit we head to the junction of carrer de la Pujada de la Primavera with carrer Cantabria; from this point, during the summer months vehicles are prohibited from passing. We must follow the road from l'Estartit to l'Escala; this first stretch is asphalted. On reaching the end of the climb there is a junction; we continue to the left and soon reach the junction of the Torre Ponça and the road to l'Escala. We continue to the right along the latter for 145 metres, where we find a new junction; we must continue to the left for 335 metres. At this point, on the right an wide path sets off which we follow for 400 metres; at the end it describes a curve to the left and joins the Ruta del Vent. We must continue to the right for 210 metres; at this point, and about 10 metres to the left of the path, we find the cavity, covered by a metal grille that is easy to remove.

Description

Morphology

A pit of less than 4 metres places us in a gallery that on the W side ends at 2 metres, while on the E side it gives access to a down-climbable pit of a little more than 2 metres. Here we have two continuations: on the S side a narrow gallery continues for some 6 metres until it becomes impenetrable, while at our feet the fissure descends until it becomes impenetrable at -11 metres.

History

Cavity known since ancient times. The name is given by its proximity to the còrrec de la Carnisseria.
