Cova del Moro

After descending to the balcony hanging on the cinglera, we find an entrance 5x1.5 metres that descends gently forming an “S” with a slight right-left turn, while it becomes a narrow gatera with an earthy floor. Once past it, we enter the most spacious little chamber of the cavity, in the form of an elongated trapezoid 10x2.5 metres, although we will only be able to stand upright at the beginning of it, because a large part of the chamber is occupied by fragments of blocks that are nothing other than strata fallen from the ceiling, having subsequently been covered by a stalagmitic concretion. The whole cavity presents a slightly inclined section due to the fact that it develops entirely within a plane of stratification following the slope of the mountain, since the limestone rock presents that inclination at that point.

At the opposite end of the first little chamber, in the upper part, there is another gatera that leads us to a second little chamber, of more reduced dimensions, obliging us to remain half lying down. At its end a small descending corridor in the form of a V emerges that leads us to the end of the chamber and of the cavity, although it should be noted that on the final wall there is a small cylindrical conduit, impenetrable, that seems to widen later, but that cannot be passed without first carrying out a desobstrucció.

Only a slight concretion covering some block can be noted.

Despite the old accounts, there is no riu Jordà inside it.

To reach the entrance it is necessary to descend a couple of metres down the estimball to a kind of balcony hanging on the cingle of less than half a metre, with a drop of almost 10 metres remaining below.

Thus, despite the old accounts, there is no vertical crack, no large spacious chamber; although nevertheless, both because of the situation of the entrance and from the morphological point of view, a visit to the cavity is quite interesting.
