Location

From l'Ametlla de Mar, we head to the cemetery; from there we follow the street for about 250 metres until it ends at a perpendicular street, we continue to the right until reaching the coastline. The cave lies just below the cliff; if we follow the GR-92 that passes this point in a S direction, in a few metres we will find some stairs that take us down to sea level.

Description

Morphology

A wide, shelter-like opening gives access to three parallel passages, the middle one being the largest, with 19 metres of passage.

Other details

The materials in which the cavity is found are an Upper Pleistocene alluvial fan, formed by a conglomerate of gravels, sand and lutites. That is, an alluvial terrace, excavated by marine erosion.
