Description
Morphology
Between three blocks, the mouth of the cavity opens, cleared for access. Through a small crawlway and halfway along it, we find the continuation on the left-hand side through a selective hole and crouching with sand on the floor, which leads us to a hanging window. We climb down the 3.5 m drop and reach the Sala Fantasia, the room with the greatest volume in the cavity. From this room a crawlway emerges that ends choked by blocks.
Speleothems
The Sala Fantasia is decorated by large stalactites that reach about 30 cm from the floor.

History
Discovered by Juan Miguel Ramón on 5 January 2019, who detected an air current between some blocks and cleared the mouth to be able to access it. The following weekend (13/01/19) Juan Miguel, Carlos Cantero, Tomas Brull, Adrià Rebull, Esther Quirós, Santi Higins and Tonet Piñol began the explorations. Once all the unknowns had been checked, the exploration was concluded.
Visited on 25-5-2019 by Vicent Barraquet, Sarai Ramirez and other companions who carried out the survey and cataloguing work.
