Description
Morphology
About 4 metres below the surface there is a conical hole known in the area as a blowhole. A large crevice at water level allows the wave, on days of heavy seas, to compress the air that escapes through the hole above. The connection is only a few centimetres wide.
History
Well known since ancient times by the people of the area. The first speleological record was provided by members of SIRE – UEC Sants, who visited it in 1981.
