Descrizione
Morfologia
The cave has two entrances. The lower entrance is 2 m wide and 1.4 m high and opens to the southeast. The section that can be traversed is quite short, with a low ceiling, and leads to various crawls. On the floor there was all sorts of straw, as if it were the bed of some animal.
The upper entrance is 1 m in diameter, and is located 5 metres from the floor; the entrance forms a small vestibule with a step 1.5 m high and 0.5 m wide that leads to a room, labyrinthine with different levels caused by the fall of blocks from the ceiling.
Some 30 m west of the cave is the so-called Abric-Túnel de Secabecs, a small hole in the cliff, about 6 m long and which serves to access the cliff where the cave is located.
Also, and between the cave and the tunnel, there is a small cavity: la Gatera Penjada de Secabecs, of very reduced dimensions and explored a short time later.
Concrezioni
On entering to the right of the large room, there is a smaller one that is decorated with speleothems.
Progressione
The upper entrance can be accessed by an easy climb aided by a chain in a precarious state (re-equipped with parabolts in January 2020).
Storia
The first news of the caves is given by the Penedès archaeologist Pere Giró, who visited them during the months of April-June 1959 while carrying out some first archaeological interventions (Revista Ampurias, 1962). In September 1974, Joan Virella with companions from the Agrupació Excursionista Talaia (Vilanova i la Geltrú) again carried out work inside the cavity.
The material collected, not too well documented, seems to present a chronology that goes from the Neolithic, Bronze, Iberian, Roman, medieval and up to the end of the modern era (18th century).
