Description
Morphology
Wide rock shelter about 25 metres deep by 22 wide that has taken advantage of a softer stratum for its development. The floor presents a gentle slope that steepens in its final stretch.
Speleothems
At the back of the rock shelter a small flowstone is observed.
Hydrology
In certain places of the cave a floor coating can be seen, superimposed on the clayey floor, the result of a certain hydrological reactivation in the form of dripping.
Other details
Vegetation occupies extensive parts of the cavity.
History
Known since time immemorial, it has been cited in numerous hiking itineraries.
