Descrizione

Morfologia

An abundant water outlet emerges through a narrow mouth. A few metres along the narrow passage until reaching some plunge pools full of water.

Idrologia

An abundant water outlet. Later a modest weir was built that bars the way and ensures the flow during the dry season. They say that when the llevant blows a great flow gushes forth.

Progressione

In 1992, Joan Pallarès comments that some years earlier they had penetrated a few metres along the narrow passage until reaching some plunge pools full of water.

Storia

Known since time immemorial. There is a legend, not without erotic connotations, that speaks of a maiden who came out of the spring and invited shepherds, lovers of nature, to enter with her into her lair, where they could contemplate true natural wonders.
