Avenc de Roca d'abella

The opening, in the form of a pit, presents a first aerial shaft of about 6 metres, although almost at its start a little-explored side gallery emerges which does not appear on the survey. Once at the base of the first shaft the chamber presents dimensions of 5x2.5 metres, the continuation being found through a crawl between blocks towards a small chamber parallel to the previous one of 3x2 metres, where we see the light entering between the blocks of the ceiling, this being the second entrance indicated on the elevation of the survey.

From this small chamber and through a small corridor we find a step of about 3 metres between blocks, which places us at two superimposed small chambers of little height, which must have served as a dwelling for ancestors, since blackened smoke marks are visible on the ceiling. At the end opposite the entrance, once this step has been descended, we find a vertical shaft of 3 metres that leads to the most characteristic gallery of the cavity, although we can avoid rigging the shaft by dragging ourselves under the blocks at the back of the chamber and once past we find ourselves on large blocks situated in the main gallery of the cavity forming a 45º slope, with a gallery that gains height between blocks until reaching a vertical drop of 13 metres with a plan of 17x2 metres with a considerable height (of 10 to 12 metres). Almost at the very end of it, on the right-hand side, there is a narrow passage between blocks that allows us to pass to a couple of lower small chambers, until reaching the last vertical shaft of 6 metres in the form of a 1 metre wide joint that leaves us at the bottom of the cavity, where there is always a film of water on the walls and some wall formations. The lower galleries of the cavity achieve a morphology with greater personality than the chaotic upper blocky parts.

As our friend Joan Pallisé tells us, it should be noted that on one of the latest visits to the cavity, a little more than 10 metres above the opening, another hole was located through which a strong air current comes out and through which a shaft and a couple of steps have been descended to a very narrow point that they have not been able to pass so far, but which could connect with the lower chamber of the pit.

On the only known survey (elevation) it is recorded that the plan length is 103 metres, to which we would have to add the vertical sections.

At the bottom of the cavity there are some wall formations.
