Known since remote times. It turns out, however, that in Sant Feliu there are two caves with the same name. This one and a sea cave, as witnessed by some black-and-white postcards from the 1920s and 1940s, where a boat is seen entering the cave. Evidently it is not this one. In 1983, Lluís Pallí, in his map of coastal toponyms, chose to name this one Cova Alta d'en Vitaia, to distinguish it from the sea cave known by the same name, which he places in the Mas Pei area, next to another that he says is the Cova dels Contrabandistes and another as Cova de Can Pei. In the summer of 1963, Joan Senent (ERE – CEC) explored a good number of sea caves in Sant Feliu de Guíxols. Among others, without giving data, he cites: Cova d'en Vitanya (sic) and Coves Mongetes (he says there are 3). The caves of Mas Pei are located next to Cala de ses Mongetes and in front of the reefs called ses Mongetes. Therefore, everything seems to indicate that one of the caves of Mas Pei (possibly the one catalogued as no. 1) is the Cova d'en Vitaia. But to complicate it a little, in 2004 a guide to places of the Costa Brava appears (Albert Gironès) that makes a careful description of the Cova Alta d'en Vitaia, calling it Cova del Contrabandista or d'en Bitalla, where he explains that the cave had been the collection point for contraband, which was done from the boat to the cave by hauling the 'goods' up with ropes. These are the data that appear in the Catàleg Espeleològic de Catalunya. Vol. 4 (Jordi de Valles, 2010). It is clear enough that there are two caves of d'en Vitaia and two of Contrabandista/es, but we do not know who this person was. We have found an article where the motives or nicknames of people from Sant Feliu de Guíxols in the 18th century are collected and the one of Vitaia appears, without specifying which person or family it corresponded to. Given to speculating, and with a bit of humor, we could think that this Vitaia was the head of the contrabandists and had two work points; the sea cave could serve him as a general store and the cave hanging on the cliff (cova penjada) was the logistics center. Finally, on 26-1-2020 members of the GE Badalona and of the CE de Castellar del Vallès visit it and carry out the complete cataloguing work.
