Description
Morphology
Void between the cliff and a huge fallen block, with a short gallery of very low ceiling and excavated in a very soft layer of sandy earth.
History
Visited by SIRE – UEC Sants in 1980. The use of the place name Frarot, which did not appear in the cartography, suggests that someone must have indicated the cavity to them and the name by which it was known. It should be remembered that in 1980 the only access to this sector was by sea; the construction of the marina destroyed this stretch of coastline by filling it in.
