Characteristics

Location

By the C-1413b road, from Hostalets de Balenyà to Centelles, shortly before kilometre 18, we will turn right in the direction of Fontderola and el Puigsagordi. Once on the Pla de Castellar, we will head N, towards the antennas located on the Castellar. From the SE part of the buildings, a path leaves that skirts the cliff in a S direction; we will follow it for about 500 metres until reaching the coordinates (ED50- X:433517; Y:4629755). At this point a trail begins that descends through a pass that allows the cliff to be overcome, and where on the right are the caves PG-3 and PG-4. We will continue along the base of the cliff in a N direction; at 60 metres we find the caves PG-8 and PG-9, at 160 metres there is the cova PG-5 and at 190 metres we will find these small caves PG-6 and PG-7, 8 metres above the path.

Description

Morphology

It is a small cave formed by a single gallery 8 metres long, structured along a joint running E-W, which opens right beside the cova PG-7, of even smaller dimensions.

History

Explored by members of GIE Granollers in 1978.

In the latest speleological catalogue of Catalonia vol.4 (J. De Valles), the place name Puigsagordi has been added to the name of the cavity. At EspeleoÍndex we have kept the original name given to it by the GIEG.
