Description
Morphology
Cavity totalling 7 m of passable passage. The most notable feature is the entrance mouth, very well defined and located 1.5 m above the ground. The mouth, with a one-metre section, gives access to a small transverse gallery of 4.5 metres where one can stand upright. On the left side, almost imperceptible, there is an impenetrable fissure that, in the form of a chimney, leads to the outside.
Speleothems
No reconstructive forms are visible.
Other details
Part of the walls appear blackened by the soot from fires having been lit inside.
History
Explored and surveyed by members of the SIS – CET in October 2003. The people of Sant Llorenç Savall have heard the name but few know where to place it, and visits do not seem to be frequent. Lluís Vergés i Solà mentions it in his book ‘Foranies i altres coses' (1971) and publishes a photograph of it. It cannot be ruled out, as the author says, that the forat d'en Paré had been a hermit's refuge in remote times; its solar orientation is unbeatable. What is already very improbable is that the cavity had been a refuge of the ETA members who committed the Hipercor attack, as has been heard said by someone from the village. What we do know for certain is that the cavity is the den of an owl. On the two maps consulted the erroneous toponym Perer or Pere appears.
