Location

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

Description

Morphology

An opening of 0.91X0.87 metres gives access to a pit of -2 metres; this drops into the very middle of a gallery just over 4 metres long, on the E side, ending in a small chamber.

Almost beside the cavity but not forming part of it, we observe the existence of a narrow fissure that descends about -4 metres.

History

Explored by the GIS de Girona during the 1970s, they indicated it with the initials A4.

During the campaign carried out by the SIE-CEA in 2007, it is rediscovered and catalogued as Cau Sense Nom.
