Cave with 84 metres of passage in Cervelló, explored on 30 October 1983 by GEFOMA.

Characteristics

Location

From Corbera de Llobregat we head towards l'Amunt and specifically to the Can Rigol residential area; we go to carrer de la sparry calcite and follow it to the end; this connects with a track that we follow for 280 metres, where we take a path on the left that in a few metres will bring us to the entrance of an abandoned quarry. It will be necessary to climb up to the highest part inside the quarry, where we will find the mouth of the cavity hanging on the left wall at about 2 metres in height.

Description

Morphology

The mouth hangs on the wall of the quarry and gives access to a narrow passage; almost at the end of this we find a small shaft that gives access to a lower level which continues with the same characteristics.

Speleothems

Lithogenesis is quite abundant, making exploration more complicated.

History

Explored on 30 October 1983 by GEFOMA, based on indications made by colleagues from the Excursionista section of the Foment Martinenc who lived in Corbera. Later A. Asensio and P. Valdepeñas carried out some clearing works, increasing the passage.
