Description

Morphology

At the entrance there is a pool of water formed by the waves and on the right an 8-metre-long gallery. We climb in opposition up a 6-metre rise where there are two wedged blocks and reach an area covered with fallen blocks. The cave ends in a chamber with a rectangular floor plan and 9 metres above the level of the mouth, which is 10 metres high. Between this cave and that of d'en Cateura there is still a small cave with a 6-metre passage.
