Description
Morphology
Around its narrow entrance, opened by digging out, the remains deposited by the collapses of vanished galleries that once gave continuity to this cavity can be seen. A descending gallery leads us to a widening from which two branches start, both ending blocked. Continuing along the main gallery, a large block fallen from the ceiling almost bars our way. Through a small opening we can continue, reaching a wider gallery. On arriving at this point, the section becomes rectangular. The cavity bifurcates, the right-hand gallery follows a higher level and in its final stretch forms two floors connected by windows. The left-hand gallery, which continues at a lower level, again divides into two more that end in narrow passages.
Speleothems
Small stalactitic formations can be seen on the ceiling.
History
Following information received from an acquaintance of the GE Badalona, they got in contact with the inhabitants of Can Barraca, who accompanied them to the cavity, carrying out the digging out of the entrance and exploration of the cavity on 31 March 1996.
