Small cave with a 16 m route in Cala Dolça (Tarragona), formed by a single gallery of 15.70 metres.

Characteristics

Location

Inside Cala Dolça – la Fonteta. Between the Cova gran del Roc and a small torrent that descends from the urbanització de la Cala de la Móra. Almost exactly at the point where the cove begins to curve, and hidden behind a large block emerging from the sea, there are three small caves. The westernmost one is the Cova Trencacaps. Very approximate coordinates.
