Location

From the Lliurona track towards Bassegoda, we turn left towards Ermedà; before reaching it we will find a turn-off to the right that ends at Camp Llarg. From there we must follow some cairns until we find the path marked with red marks that leads to Borró. We continue to the foot of the Can Barral cliffs, turning right and passing through a charcoal-burning clearing, where we will find the cavity. Approximate coordinates.

Description

Morphology

Spectacular 7x15-metre entrance that gives access to an ascending gallery, which diminishes as we advance until reaching +13.5 metres.

History

Located by Xavi Borruel of the GEB and explored by them in 1994. Very probably it is the same tuta already cited with the same name by P. Vayreda in 1931.
