Descrizione
Morfologia
It is a large shelter with a passage that penetrates a few metres. No survey is available and therefore we do not know the exact dimensions of the shelter.
Concrezioni
Different mineral tones paint the speleothems that cling to the walls of the cavity.
Idrologia
In times of heavy rain, the upper ravine drops a great curtain of water that covers the mouth of the cave.
Progressione
The path is steep, with a long continuous gradient that goes deeper towards the head of the barranc de la Conca. At approximately 1.5 km the path forks. To the right and on a slight descent you reach the ravine recess that forms the Cova Pintada.
Altri dettagli
To distinguish it from its namesake on the slopes of Mont Caro, we have chosen to index it as Pintada d'Alfara.
Storia
Known since remote times. The oldest citation that we have been able to find corresponds to E. Bayerri who, in his Historia de Tortosa y su comarca. Vol.II (1934) mentions it, saying that it is found on the slopes of the Toscar and that in times of heavy rain, the upper ravine drops a great curtain of water that covers the mouth of the cave.
