Description
Morphology
Rock shelter about 30 metres wide and 7.71 metres deep, by 4.20 metres high which in the E part of the shelter reaches 11.35 metres.
Hydrology
At the foot of the rock shelter a fairly large pool has been built, in order to collect the rainwater that falls from the upper part of the shelter.
Other details
It is partially walled, and there is also an enclosure in the form of a dwelling that is currently used as a storeroom.
History
Known since time immemorial. It is said that in the past marriages between couples from the villages of Cabacés and Margalef were agreed in this cave.
Often some hikers, due to the proximity between the two, confuse this cave with the cova de la Palla.
