Location

From the coves de la Paret one must climb to the top of the mola and traverse until passing to the adjacent mola. The cavity is found in a projection of the cliff (“morro”), at mid-height and half hidden by brambles, which makes access difficult. Approximate coordinates.

Description

Morphology

Narrow fissure 8 metres long that crosses the projection of the wall of the mola where it is located. Passage from one side to the other is impracticable due to the narrowness of the conduit at the midpoint of the route if one enters through the N mouth. The S mouth is obstructed by a block that hinders its location in the middle of the cliff face where it hangs.

History

Discovered and explored by members of the ERE – CEC and the Biblioteca Balaguer de Vilanova i la Geltrú, during the campaigns they carried out between 1972 and 1974.
