Description

Morphology

The cave has a single gallery, very narrow, which begins with 6 metres of depth under the water and 4 metres of height. The ceiling gradually lowers until it touches the water, at which point the cave narrows further, preventing progression.

History

The only reports we have are those published by members of the SIS – CE Terrassa who explored it in August 1980.

When these caves were published, the place name of the cove where they are located was Futadera and it was later standardised to Fotedera.
