A small cavity on the Fontpineda road (Pallejà), with access in the form of a vertical crawlway and a small chamber at its base, heavily filled with concretions.

Caratteristiche

Località

On the upper part of the slope at the first of the double bend on the road that climbs from Pallejà to Fontpineda, barely some 800 m from the exit of Pallejà.

At the end of the double bend, on its upper part, there is space to park; from this point the cave is about a hundred metres away.

Possible visitors are asked to take the greatest care and respect for this small cavity.

Descrizione

Morfologia

Access in the form of a vertical crawlway and a small chamber at its base, totalling a length of 14 metres and with a drop of 3.6 metres.

As its height is quite reduced, one must crawl along and take care not to break anything, which is not at all easy.

In the entrance passage there is a vertical constriction restrictive enough to make the exit difficult for those with too much girth.

Concrezioni

Extraordinarily filled with rows of concretions, veritable curtains. Among the lattice of concretions a hole has been opened to be able to go in a couple of metres, a task carried out by the previous explorers, until, seeing that the cavity did not appear to have any further continuation, they had the good judgement not to continue opening the way. Nevertheless, the floor is strewn with fragments of concretions.

Storia

Probably opened during the road remodelling works. It seems that it was explored around the beginning of the 2000s, but we did not know by whom or whether they gave it a name that we do not know. At the entrance there is a graffiti with the pit symbol and the letters CEM. At first we suspected that these were the initials of the Centre Excursionista de Molins de Rei; but via Facebook, Éric let us know that the first exploration was carried out by members of a group from Pallejà called Capbussament Espeleologia Muntanya (CEM).

There was absolutely no news of it until Jordi Perera found it by chance and, together with his companions from the Espeleodijous, visited it on 24 October 2013.

In April 2024 Juli Serrano (SIE-CEA) and Francesc Rubinat (ERE-CEC) visited it again to locate it correctly and make the survey.
