Gran Foradada in the cingle de Cova Llonga, in the Mussara (Vilaplana): a 10.7-metre tunnel that crosses the rocky spur.

Caratteristiche

Località

On the T-704 road, just past kilometre 17 on the left we find the track closed with a padlock that leads to the Mas del Morenet. From the padlock itself a path starts that heads in a SW direction towards the cingle de Cova Llonga; the path descends through a gully until it places us on a narrow terrace that will take us to the cova dels Patacons.

Descrizione

Morfologia

It is a fairly large tunnel that crosses the rocky spur forming a foradada 10.7 metres in length. At the two ends we find dry-stone walls half a metre wide and 1.5 m high for the front wall and 1 metre high for the back wall.

Storia

Known since long ago, since this long foradada at the final part coincided with a rock shelter where the terrace ended; the whole complex was known as Cova Llonga.

During the civil war the brothers Joan, David and Miquel Pàmies, known as els Patacons, took refuge in the cave. Years later relatives and descendants of these reclaimed the historical memory of those and the part corresponding to the foradada became known as cova dels Patacons; the fact of having equipped a spectacular via ferrata with this name that passes between the two caves has also contributed.
