A 5-metre-long cave in the Font Pudenta neighbourhood, in Montcada i Reixac.

Characteristics

Location

Located in the Font Pudenta neighbourhood, in Montcada i Reixac. We head for the cemetery, where on the left-hand side there is a track that climbs up to a water tank; at the end of the tank's enclosure there is an electricity pylon, and behind it a marked path sets off, known as the camí de les Fades. We soon come to a crossroads, and must continue upwards, ignoring the path on the left. Shortly afterwards we reach a small rock step where there is a white mark; at this point we turn off to the right, leaving the path, and within a few metres we come to a leafy fig tree, which we pass beneath, coming out inside a small abandoned quarry, where in the very middle we find an electricity pylon. The cavity opens just in front of it, on the left-hand side of the quarry.

Description

Morphology

The entrance is 3 metres high by 0.50 metres wide and gives way to a 2-metre drop, which places us on a level full of stones and sediments. At the bottom of the cavity, at a height of one and a half metres, there is a small impassable hole. The cavity develops along an E-W-oriented joint, and is open to the outside by artificial means.

Progression

The entrance gives way to a 2-metre drop. The cavity has a length of 5 metres.

History

The only known data come from the exploration carried out by Toni Inglès (ERE del CEC), in April 1976.
