Descrizione
Morfologia
Through a wide mouth open in the cliff at sea level, we enter a chamber about 17x24 metres in diameter and 8.60 metres in maximum height. At the back of the chamber we find a small beach, whose dimensions vary depending on the state of the sea. At the NW end we find a small passage 6 metres long, while on the N wall of the chamber (on the right as we enter the cave) we find a zigzagging gallery 17.78 metres long with an average width of 4 metres and a height of 1.89 metres that decreases as we advance. At a point located near the start of the gallery we find a chimney 4.05 metres high.
Concrezioni
We can also observe some interesting lithogenic processes, including a spectacular column right in the middle of this gallery.
Storia
Despite being quite well known in the area since time immemorial, this cavity does not appear in any of the catalogues published to date.
J. Ferraté (1918) mentions the name of some cavities on the coast of l'Hospitalet de l'Infant, but without providing further data or locations; we do not know whether any of those names correspond to this cavity.
