Small sea cave with an 8 m passage in Palamós, with a single flooded and quite steep gallery, explored in August 1987.

Characteristics

Location

Past the cove of sa Fosca and following a path that skirts the coast toward the N, we find on a rocky point the ruins of the old Romanesque castle and the farmhouse of Sant Esteve del Mar, beneath which, in an inlet of the coast, hides, beside a rock shelter, the cave of Sant Esteve. Approximate coordinates.
