Cova de Toralla

The cavity has four entrances to the outside, of which the two central ones are more accessible, since the others are hanging on the cliff. It is made up of two superimposed galleries linked at different points along the whole length of the route. The main entrance gives access to a gallery with strong channelling, which after 18 metres at the entrance to a chamber, is cut off by the top of a pit that connects it directly with the lower gallery.

Continuing along the upper level, this widens considerably, but the ceiling is very low, continuing thus in a general direction towards the SE, while progressively becoming narrower, ending at 66 metres from the entrance. From the aforementioned chamber, a low-ceilinged gallery runs in the direction of the upper entrance of the cave. The floor of this whole upper section is covered by a thin layer of dust, with clastic materials and reconstructive forms being practically non-existent.

At the foot of the main entrance there is a small opening that gives way to a descending gallery that after about 10 metres comes out again onto the cliff through the lowest entrance of the cavity. This gallery has a meandering route with different branches interconnected with each other. In the central part of this lower level one must pass through a narrow crawlway that connects with a second part of galleries, these are deeper, of larger dimensions and practically joined with the upper ones along this whole route. The meandering configuration in this new part of the cave is much more pronounced, until ending in a small elbow closed by some parietal flowstone.

The main entrance gives access to a gallery with strong channelling. The floor of the upper section is covered by a thin layer of dust, with clastic materials and reconstructive forms being practically non-existent. In the lower galleries a clastic and lithogenic morphology of relative importance is observed along their route.

These lower galleries are much wetter than the upper ones.
