Description
Morphology
We find ourselves at a double entrance, the right one is about 6 metres wide by 4.8 high. The left one is about 6 metres wide by 1.25 metres high, this entrance ends at 5 metres of passage, therefore we will enter through the right one. An irregular gallery of about 12 metres of passage leads us to a small chamber with unstable blocks. Here an ascending conduit turns to the left in a NW direction. At the end we find a chimney (E+1.6) quite dangerous because of the blocks, and where we can no longer advance. Here the drop is +6 metres.
History
At the entrance we find the walls blackened by campfires, hence the name cova Fumada. The few references to this cavity are always linked to the adjoining Cova de l’Aleu, well known to the villagers. In fact, the first description made by Joan Ferraté (1918) of the cova de l'Aleu really corresponds to the cova Fumada.
