Description

Morphology

The spring flows from two parallel, interconnected galleries, with a total passage of 20 50 metres. We are before a cavity excavated by humans making use of a spring.

Speleothems

The lime in the water (font de la Tosca) has coated the walls, consolidating the alluvium, covering the transverse gallery with a stalagmitic layer and forming small groups of stalactites.
