Description

Morphology

It has an entrance about 15 metres wide, and even has a secondary lateral access under a small rocky cornice on its western side. One enters on an almost straight heading of 190º, advancing between walls that first narrow and then remain for a good stretch with a width of 3 to 6 metres, until reaching almost the end of the cave, where it narrows again to form a conduit one metre wide and 10 metres long, which above already has an emerged part half a metre high, and which finally opens into the main air chamber of large dimensions, about 20 metres on its longest side and up to 6 metres high to the ceiling.

Hydrology

The floor of the cave rises slowly from the entrance, located at -14 metres, until reaching the air chamber where the floor is at -2 metres, even allowing one to stand in some places.

History

The group of cavities of Cala Viuda are quite well known among the various diving circles of the area. Different diving companies include them in their activity programmes.
