Cova d'en Mallorca

An eroded mouth of 1.1 x 0.5 metres gives way to a subhorizontal bedding plane occupied by blocks covered with concretionary crusts where we can observe micro plunge pools. This gallery is intercepted by a short joint, where on the right a half-metre-high stalagmite stands out. The total drop is 2.5 metres.

The blocks of the bedding plane are covered with concretionary crusts and, to the right of the short joint, a half-metre-high stalagmite stands out.

It is an old spring that acted under pressure as a consequence of the water input coming from a lower level of the cavity. Today, it drains through different points located in the bed of the Muga river, which has given its name to this area. In addition, the cavity acts as a hydrostatic collector where the rise of groundwater uses it as a "trop-plein". Because its location is very close to the river, it occasionally becomes a sink due to the effect of the "Mugades".

After a narrow gallery, one must climb up to the upper part of a collapsed joint that connects with the active water level of the cavity.
