Past the islet of Cala Pedrosa and heading toward the beach of the same name, we find the cave located in a stretch of darker materials, due to the intrusion of hornfels rocks.

Description

Morphology

The mouth is 2.5 metres high, a little more than half a metre wide and 5 metres deep under the water. The gallery widens to 3 metres and when we have gone 9 metres, it then suddenly narrows at surface level but not under the water, where we can continue 10 metres more until we again reach the surface in a small chamber 3 metres long by 1 wide (without touching the bottom). The cave ends with a new gallery 4 metres long, running NW and practically submerged.

History

The only data we know are those provided by members of the SIS – CE Terrassa who explored and surveyed it in August 1986.
