Caratteristiche

Località

From Roses we will head towards Cala Montjoi and continue in the direction of Platja de Jóncols; on reaching Coll de Canadell we will leave the vehicle and continue on foot along the northern path that leads to Cap Norfeu and skirts the bay of Jóncols. After 650 metres we will find the Cova de les Ermites on the right of the path.

The cavity is included within an area protected as an Integral Natural Reserve (RNI), in this case that of Cap Norfeu, the highest protection category in Catalonia. In these RNIs it is only permitted to walk along expressly signposted itineraries in order to guarantee the conservation of the endangered species that live there, as well as their geological heritage.

Access to and return from the cavity may only be made along the expressly signposted itinerary within the period between 1 June and 14 December. The cavities may only be accessed with express authorisation from the managing body of the Natural Park, which must be obtained beforehand.

Descrizione

Morfologia

It is a cave with two entrances, the main one worked practically up to the ceiling and of good thickness, and with a doorway passage. Inside there are remains of artificial excavation in order to fit it out for long stays; it does not appear to have been arranged for keeping livestock. At 8 metres the galleries coming from both entrances join. The gallery continues for a few metres while both its height and width diminish until it becomes impenetrable.

Storia

Although known since ancient times, the first references to this cave were provided in 1977 by the Centre Excursionista Empordanès (CEE).
