Sea cave with a passage of 42 m in Sant Feliu de Guíxols, with an entrance 4 m wide and more than 6 m high.

Characteristics

Location

From Sant Feliu de Guíxols take the GI-682 road towards Tossa de Mar. Before reaching el Canyet, on the left we find the Puntabrava development; always follow the street that branches off to the left until reaching a parking area, from where a path with built steps descends to the coastline itself, at a place called embarcador de Mas Pei. From here follow the coast in a S direction and pass the first rocky point. Immediately we will see the entrance of the Cova de la Sapa, and following the rocky inlet, along its eastern side, we will easily find the cavity. Approximate coordinates.

Description

Morphology

The wide entrance, 4 m by more than 6 m high, allows light to illuminate almost the entire cavity except for the final chamber. As soon as we go in, the width gradually increases up to 10 m. The ceiling remains quite high. A pebble beach on the W side of this wide corridor is followed by a 1 m diameter passage that leads to a final chamber 2 m wide by 3 m high, with a length of 8 m.

Hydrology

The pebble seabed gradually loses depth from 2 m at the entrance to less than 1 m at the middle of the cavity.

History

The only known data are those provided at the time by Xavier Badiella (SIS – CE Terrassa), who explored it in the summer of 2003.
