Caratteristiche

Località

Take the path that leaves to the right of the roundabout at km 1 of the BP-2121 road from Vilafranca del Penedès to la Llacuna and heads toward the Sant Pau mountain. The path, initially paved, soon turns into a dirt track that passes by the Vilafranca cooperative winery. Follow the path for about 900 metres, then continue on foot; the path turns 90º to the right and shortly afterwards 90º to the left. We will continue toward the cliff face ahead of us, and when the path turns right, we will continue straight on toward the cliff. The upper entrance is visible from a distance.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The cavity is formed by a narrow crawlway that connects the two entrances. The upper entrance, full of rubbish, immediately leads to a short drop that takes us to the connecting crawlway. From the lower entrance it can be seen that the crawlway is choked with sediments and leaves an impassable passage of about 15 x 25 cm.

Progressione

The cave has a passage of 15 m. At present, communication between the two entrances is not possible. The narrowness and the broken glass do not invite one to go in.

Storia

Cavity known since time immemorial.
