Località

The cave is located in the Serra de Monteró, in Camarasa. It is reached via the LV-9047 road from Sant Llorenç de Montgai to Camarasa; after crossing the bridge over the Sant Llorenç de Montgai reservoir and at kilometre 11.45, on the right there is a small space to park. From here a path sets off uphill to the font del Gat; from this point a narrow trail continues that sometimes becomes hard to follow, and it must be followed parallel to the road keeping the same height and heading towards Sant Llorenç de Montgai. When we see the wall of the cliff at whose base there is a ravine that leads to the reservoir, we will go up the slope until we cross the ravine; from here a short but steep narrow trail leads us to the cavity.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The cavity, seen from the front, appears as a small worked rock shelter about 5 metres deep. In reality, the back wall is a wall of sediments between one and two metres thick which, at its thinnest part, has a wide opening that gives access to a gallery about 10 metres long. At the end of this gallery we find a crawlway 8 metres long; at the end and on the right a narrow descending passage continues. The passage continues descending quite narrowly; we do not know whether it continues much further, since for a question of personal volume we have not been able to get past this point, but it is clear that someone has been through, since the passage has been the result of a desobstruction.

Concrezioni

On the ceiling of the descending passage we find many eccentric formations.

Progressione

The total length of the cave is 30 metres. The final section of the cavity has clearly been desobstructed; we do not know who carried out this desobstruction or when.

Storia

Known since ancient times in Camarasa. Speleologically it was visited by the GE Lleida in mid-1967; curiously they only grant it 5 metres of length, in addition to placing it on the hydrographic right of the torrent when in reality it is on the left.
