Cova de les Pruneres

Although on many maps and in many texts it appears as a balma, we prefer to refer to it as a cave, which is what it really is and, moreover, is how it appears on the map of the Institut Cartogràfic i Geològic de Catalunya. It is a fairly spacious cave, 16 metres deep and 45 wide.

Inside there is a meagre stone wall. Josep Fatjó tells us about this cavity: “it was fixed up over the course of 1959 and on the day of the inauguration the monk climbers said a mass there”. In the cave there was a wooden wall at the front, dormitories with two rows of wooden bunk beds and trunks with capacity for some 15-20 people, there was also a wood store and a dining room with a fireplace, all made by members of the GAM of the Club Muntanyenc Barcelonès. The shameless people who wander the mountains with their lack of civility have devoted themselves to burning it all and have reduced this emblematic place to a pile of ashes.
