Location

The cavity is located in the Vallmajor ravine, in Albinyana. Following the torrent d'en Toni or de Vallmajor and once past the spring of the same name, a small path climbs up the left slope until reaching a small col; from here one continues at the same height to a cliff, and at the foot of this the cavity is found. The coordinates and the location are of very little precision.

Description

Morphology

Through different openings one enters a relatively wide gallery with an ascending direction; almost in the very middle of it, a step opens that leads through another lower gallery beneath the entrance mouth.

History

The only reference we have is the data provided by Josep Castell (ERE-CEC) and his colleagues from Vilanova i la Geltrú that appear in the second volume of the Catàleg Espeleològic de Catalunya (1978). The exploration and survey must have been carried out around the mid-1970s.
