Località

Access is via the road from Guardiola de Font-rubí to Font-rubí (BP-2126). Once past la Rubiola we will find a track on the right that leads to the maset de les Pereres and continues in the direction of Mediona. The same approach as for going to the coves de Sant Anna must be made, but the track must be followed a little further and at the first crossroads turn left, returning back along the track that leads to the ruined mas of les Clivilleres. Quite a while before arriving, above les Roques Roges (there is a stone with graffiti) one must begin to descend, without a path, about 15 m of drop through the middle of a dense forest of young pine.

The approach can also be made from Mediona, accessing from the urbanització de Can Verdeguer one reaches the same track, from the opposite direction and its condition is better.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The mouth is about 2 m high by 2.5 wide which, via a small step, gives access to a wide chamber about 8 m long, 3 m wide and almost 3 more high. At its back two passages open, one of reduced dimensions that is closed immediately and another, which is the continuation of the entrance area, but which diminishes considerably and progressively in its dimensions, both in height and width and which can be followed for about 7 m until it becomes so narrow that progression is impossible.

Outside, a few metres from the mouth, there is a passage with a very low ceiling, with the floor full of very fine sediments and which after a little more than one metre can no longer be advanced.

Storia

The cave must have been known and excavated for many years, possibly from the 1940's. Eduard Ripoll makes a brief mention in the archaeology chapter of the “Catálogo espeleológico de la provincia de Barcelona”, published by the Club Muntanyenc Barcelonès in 1961 and includes it within the group of cavities with Neolithic remains. We do not know when it was rediscovered by archaeologists who, through ignorance, called it Cova “X” and it is still cited with a third name: Cova de les Penyes Roges de Clivilleres (see: invarque.gencat).

In 1985 it was excavated by members of the AECC de Mediona and excavations by looters have also been detected.
