Description
Morphology
It is an enormous block attached to the cliff face, which along its lower part has left a cave-shaped space 18.5 metres long, allowing it to be crossed by emerging again to the outside at the other end; counting the uncovered part, the route is 22 metres. The section of the gallery along most of the route has a curious five-pointed star shape. Towards the end of the route, the gallery ascends slightly.
History
The first references we have are of a visit made in the fifties of the last century by an anonymous hiker, who it seems left a wooden sign there. It was also known by the tenant farmer of la Mata. In 1997 it was surveyed by members of the GREC.
