Caratteristiche

Località

To reach it we set out from the car park at the entrance to Serradell along the path that passes above the Font Freda and crosses the torrent of La Llau de la Font, continuing in an easterly direction.

Before reaching the torrent that climbs towards the cave of l'Espluguell and Roques de Llenaspres, we must leave the path and, without a trail, head uphill to find the foot of the cliff where we will find the large rock shelter.

Storia

On 27 August 1910, Racovitza, Jeannel, Faura and Rocafort arrive at Serradell. They visit: Forat Negre and Forat la Bou. They cite by reference, but it does not appear that they visited them: Espluga de Sorta, l'Espluguell, l'Esplugallonga and el Barbuixell.

The following day, 28 August, they visit the cova de Toralla (cave of Toralla).

Thomas Casajuana, in his, and possibly last, speleological writing (2000), makes a brief reference to a campaign by members of the Club Muntanyenc Barcelonès (Llopis, Thomas and others) carried out in the Serradell area in 1946 and which had remained practically unpublished. Among the cavities explored and drawn he mentions l'Esplugallonga, without providing any data.

On 19 and 20 March 1960 it is visited by the ERE of the CE Catalunya, only a mention of the cave appearing in the magazine Montaña no. 60.
