Location

Along the track that climbs from Prat de Comte to the Port, when you reach the bend that begins to rise more or less parallel to the cliffs, some 50 metres above, at the foot of the crags, some small rock shelters can be seen. From them and not far away to the left the entrance can be seen.

(Note: The coordinates and therefore the location on the map are approximate, but because the computer program requires it we must give some data in this section).

Description

Morphology

Small cave with 11 m of passage. Short ascending gallery.

History

It is very possible that the whole group of rock shelters and these small caves are what the local people have always known as the coves de Sulleva. The first speleological report is the one given after the exploration by ERE-CEC in April 1984.
