Description
Morphology
The entrance, located at the foot of a major wall, is of good size, 15 m wide by about 10 m high. The first metres are of the rock-shelter type, but on the NW side a gallery goes into the mountain. A small climb is necessary over what appears to be an accumulation of ancient compacted sediment later eroded. This means that the cave has a cross-section at two levels, the upper one, which coincides with the upper part of the sediment, and the lower one, which corresponds to the natural level of the cavity. The cave is of comfortable dimensions, although care is needed when passing from the upper level to the lower one. Total route, 24 m.
History
Cave very well known by the people of the area. It even appears on tourist information panels found on the mountain. In fact, its large entrance is clearly visible from a long distance. The place name Cova de la Porca appears labelled on the ICC map in the correct place.
Despite all this and the fact that it is close to the avenc de la Picossa, we are not aware that the cova de la Porca appears in any catalogue or any publication of speleological scope. For this reason, members of ECM Barcelonès and GE Badalona went on 24-7-2025 to carry out the surveying and cataloguing tasks.
