Descrizione
Morfologia
The entrance leads to a two-metre drop. It places us in the upper part of a chamber with a sloping floor covered with numerous blocks. The chamber has a more or less triangular shape, with dimensions of the order of 12 x 10 m. At the opposite end from the entrance a small upward step places us in a gallery 10 m long.
Concrezioni
Although the rock is mostly bare, in some places we find well-developed parietal-type concretions.
Progressione
A precarious ladder made of logs helps us to overcome the two-metre drop.
Storia
Known to local people and local hikers.
The place name Coves de la Vila appears labelled on the Garrotxa map of Editorial Alpina, even in editions from many years ago, although it places it slightly further south than the place where the caves are actually found. Also, the place name Coves d'en Vila appears labelled on the ICC map.
Despite these antecedents, the caves have surprisingly gone unnoticed by speleologists. Thus, members of the ECM Barcelonès and of the GE Badalona located them and made the study on 22 June 2024.
