Description

Morphology

A large rock shelter, but one that penetrates only a few metres into the rock. No survey is available, so the exact dimensions of the cavity are unknown.

History

Certainly known since ancient times. Unpublished in speleological catalogues. It possibly served as a refuge for some detachment of the International Brigades during the Battle of the Ebro in 1938.
