Cova de la Font de la Tosca

The cave, in fact, is nothing other than the space that has formed between the roca de la Tosca and the cliff on which it rests at its upper part. In this way, one can enter the space from one side and leave from the other. On the side opposite the cliff, the roca de la Tosca is in direct contact with the water of the stream, which here forms a rather large and deep pool.

The main mouth of the cave - the western one - is about 8 metres wide and has a more or less triangular shape. The eastern mouth is notably smaller and one must stoop to pass through it.

The water springs directly from the rock, without a spout, and after passing through a limestone concretion that it has itself created, it continues along the floor of the cave forming meanders until it exits outside.

On the side opposite the cliff, the roca de la Tosca is in direct contact with the water of the stream, which here forms a rather large and deep pool. In fact, during great floods the water can inundate the whole cave.

And in the middle of the cave, in a beautiful corner, is the spring. Wild, generally abundant although the flow can diminish considerably in summer. The water springs directly from the rock, without a spout, and after passing through a limestone concretion that it has itself created, it continues along the floor of the cave forming meanders until it exits outside. And it does so not through one of the two mouths, but through the low-ceilinged space that remains between the rock and the floor, draining directly into the pool that the stream forms here. In rainy periods, other streams can form there, as there are other temporary springs around the mouth.

In this way, one can enter the space from one side and leave from the other. The eastern mouth is notably smaller and one must stoop to pass through it.

Around the main entrance some low stretches of stone wall are still preserved, but at another time there were other walls, as can be deduced from the observation of old photos. We do not know the purpose of these walls (to make stone benches?, to make an enclosure?).
