Description
Morphology
A 2x2 metre portal that introduces us into an old pressure conduit where small cupolas can be observed, some of them have evolved to form chimneys, in one of them +9 metres is reached; the floor is formed by sedimentation of sand and many blocks located in the last stretch.
History
Located by Xavi Borruel of the GEB and explored by them in 1994. At the entrance of the cavity a graffiti was found corresponding to some initials (AGE) and the date 10-11-37, this date coinciding with the civil war, could be the cause of its use as a hiding place. It is unknown whether the cavity was known under another name.
