Caratteristiche

Località

From Sant Feliu de Guíxols take the GI-682 road towards Tossa de Mar. Before reaching el Canyet, on the left we find the Puntabrava development; you must always follow the street that branches off to the left until reaching a parking area from which a path starts that, with built steps, descends to the very coastline, at a place called embarcador de Mas Pei. From here you must follow the coast in a S direction and get past the first rocky point until locating la Cova de la Sapa (we have no details about it). Immediately afterwards we will find a large inlet in the rock that, although its dimensions suggest a cave, is only a balma forming a large arch and that many people take for la Cova de la Sapa.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The balma de la Sapa is a large arch very close to la Cova de la Sapa (about which we have no specific details) and that many people confuse with one another. Both the visible and the underwater part have few metres of depth inside the rock. The width is quite notable, as is the height, which easily exceeds 10 m.

Storia

Cavities known since ancient times by the local fishermen. Very well known for being observed during tourist cruises and by kayak practitioners.
