Caratteristiche

Località

It is located to the SE of the casa nova del Bolet, below the vineyards, at the foot of a small crag that lies 80 metres to the S of the last vineyard field. It can also be reached via the Mas de les Pereres: once past it, one must reach an abandoned quarry (currently used as a hunters' shelter); the path climbs to the left of the quarry up to a small col, from there a narrow path climbs in a N direction, halfway up we find an old terrace along which the narrow path continues in a W direction, until reaching the upper part of a small crag; at the base of this, towards the W, is the cave.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The cave entrance forms a rock shelter with a large visor. At the back of this opens a mouth of 3.91x2.75 metres, which gives access to a chamber of 12x23 metres with the floor sloping until reaching +4 metres at the upper part. Here we find a small conduit that begins at a rise of +1 metre and ends in less than 3 metres.

Storia

Known since time immemorial. It seems that Iberian remains have been found. Aymamí says that it served as a refuge during the civil war. We know that A. Lagar visited it in 1957 for biospeleological purposes. He named it Cova de l'Avellar.
