Caratteristiche

Località

Going up the Castelldefels road (Rat Penat) to Plana Novella, at the point where you reach Pla de Vinyals (La Pleta), take the turn-off along the old Garraf path. When you reach the cat and dog shelter (Canòpolis), continue to the left and pass in front of the entrance gate of the compound; to the left of the track there is a clearly visible path that within a few metres brings you to the mouth of the Avenc de la Penya Ginesta.

Descrizione

Morfologia

You enter through an inclined passage that reaches a 3.6 metre drop; at its base it forms a small chamber with a blind vault at one of its ends and the floor is covered with clastic materials. At its end you can still enter a much smaller chamber, also with a blind vault. At the bottom of the first chamber the point of maximum depth is reached at elevation -7.6.

Storia

Discovered and explored by members of SES – CE Puigmal around the beginning of 1957.

A cavity very rarely visited; despite this, people outside the speleological world used it as a small dump. For this reason, the Ecology Department of the Catalan Federation of Speleology devoted a clean-up day on 5 June 2011 (see the blog: Espeleobloc: post of 29-6-2011).
