Location

Along the track that leads from Mas de les Fonts towards Begues, before reaching the Font d'Alba, a track branches off to the left heading in the direction of the avenc del Vermell. From this track junction, an oval entrance can be seen on the S slope of the serra del Mas, in the upper cliff, half hidden by vegetation. Since there is no path, one must climb up through the dense forest and make a short traverse along the wall. Approximate coordinates.

Description

Morphology

It is a meandering gallery with a 14-metre passage, completely horizontal. Two small chambers break the monotony of the route, which is semi-filled with sediments; a short upper gallery separated by a partition increases the dimensions. In the final chamber there is an impenetrable flat-out passage that is the end point of the cavity.

History

Explored during 1978 by the CE Cervelló.
