Caratteristiche

Località

Past the punta del Bisbe and the cala del Terme we continue N until we find an inlet on the coast surrounded by high walls, on one of which there is a characteristic ochre stain that popular imagination has wanted to see as a bishop; right next to it is the Cova del Bisbe.

The most usual access, on days of calm sea, is from Tamariu, where kayaks can be rented to follow the coast to the caves.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The cave consists of a single, almost straight gallery 32 metres long, with the width varying from 1 metre at the beginning to 2.5 metres at the end. The height is 7 to 8 metres throughout.

Idrologia

The most notable feature is the depth of the sea, which at the start reaches 14 metres. Also worth noting is a bedrock that submerges to 4 metres and even rises above the water level, hindering the passage of boats.

Storia

Despite being known in the area since time immemorial, no speleological account appears until the visits made by the Badiella brothers (SIS – CET) in the early 1980's.
