Description

Morphology

It is a tunnel with a curved passage, located at a depth of -18 metres. The tunnel maintains a diameter of about 3 to 4 metres. It opens again to the exterior after a passage of about 50 metres, and just before reaching the end, it shows a new secondary opening that leads to the exterior. This is a branch of the main tunnel, which with a bearing of 140º forms a narrow corridor about 15 metres long and 1.5 metres wide, although as tall as the previous one.

History
