Small sea cave with 9 m of passage in Blanes (la Selva), with a 2 by 2 metre entrance and a single gallery that becomes impassable.

Characteristics

Location

The cave is located in Blanes (la Selva). Leaving Cala de Sant Francesc, one must follow a coastal path in the direction of the Punta de s'Agulla (Agüia in the local speech); after about 500 metres there is a small cove with a small artificial jetty where a garage for boats has been built. At the S end of this cove is the cave. Approximate coordinates and low-precision location.
