Description
Morphology
An entrance of approximately 7 by 12 metres gives access to a gallery with a total passage of 13 metres and an average width of 5 metres. At 4 metres along we find that the gallery divides into two levels: a lower one with a passage of 6.57 metres by 3.39 metres wide and 1.36 metres high, in the ceiling of which there is a small impassable hole that connects with the upper floor.
To reach the upper floor it is necessary to climb a 1.66 metre high step, where the rest of the gallery has a passage of about 10 metres. On the right-hand side we find a short ascending gallery that reaches a level of + 5 metres with respect to the entrance.
Speleothems
The short ascending gallery on the right-hand side has formation in some places.
Progression
To reach the upper floor it is necessary to climb a 1.66 metre high step.
History
Known since ancient times and used to shelter flocks of sheep; later it was used as a shelter by climbers.
Toponymy: cited in the ICGC cartography as Cova de Grabiel (sic), a toponym that we have respected, even though it is an incorrect form of Gabriel.
