The cavity, in the form of a cave, is located above the right-hand cliff of the first gorge.

Description

Morphology

A circular entrance split by a rock bridge that gives access to a short and comfortable meander that places us at the head of a -6-metre shaft. At its base a descending ramp covered with blocks begins and ends in a short, small meander that, after a sharp turn, becomes impenetrable.

History

The first data were provided by A. Asensio, who explored it with the SIES in 1991.
