Esparreguera • Baix Llobregat 15m

Cave with a 15 m route and two entrances in Esparreguera, at the foot of a crag above the C-55.

Characteristics

Location

It is located at the foot of a crag above the C-55, about 415 metres E (E9N) of Can Paloma and about 250 metres S of the Puda de Montserrat. On this crag there is a climbing area known as “Les puces”.

At Km. 7.35 of the C-55 road from Abrera to Manresa, one must take a turn-off, the B-113. At Km. 4.1, a track, often closed, runs alongside a small vineyard. At a point where the track makes a 90º turn to the right, the path that will take us to the foot of the crag leaves in a northerly direction.

To find the small entrance of cave no. 2 of can Paloma one must follow the crag to the right (W), going up and down about seventy metres.

Description

Morphology

Cavity with two entrances. From the large one (to the N) a wide gallery 7 metres long begins. Of the two narrow galleries that begin at the small entrance, the one on the right ends up connecting with the wide gallery.

Progression

At the time of writing the note, the main entrance is inaccessible due to the dense vegetation. The coordinates correspond to the small entrance.

History

In 1985 (the year of the millennium of Esparreguera) and invited by the owners of Can Paloma, members of the ERE of the CEC surveyed the cave and other nearby cavities.
