Description
Morphology
The small entrance of the cavity is at the bottom of a small depression. Once past it, one reaches a gallery that to the left becomes impassable within a few metres and to the right gradually gains width and height at different points joined to one another by narrow passages. The entire route is on small, slightly descending ramps and is largely occupied by a chaos of blocks.
History
Discovered and explored by members of the Agrupació Científico-Excursionista de Mataró during Holy Week of 1965. It was later rediscovered by members of the ERE – CEC and of the Biblioteca Balaguer de Vilanova i la Geltrú, during the campaigns they carried out between the years 1972 and 1974.
