Location

On the SE slope of Mont-redon. From Pratdip, follow the PR C-96 trail, pass by the Mas de la Carabassa and continue to the Pla dels Aladerns. Here you must turn off to take, on the left, the path that climbs Mont-redon via the Portell de Roca Mitjanera. To the left of the path and at the foot of a small cliff is the cave.

Approximate coordinates and not very precise.

Description

Morphology

Cavity formed by two small, slightly sloping chambers. The floor is higher at the far end and in the area on the right.

Other details

It appears to be the remains of an ancient spring excavated along a bedding plane.

History

Very well known to hikers who frequent the area. The only speleological references we have are those given by members of the GE Pedraforca who explored it on 14 April 1974.
