Caratteristiche

Località

Located to the SW of Puig dels Boixos. From the Lliurona track in the direction of Bassegoda, we will turn left towards Ermedà; before reaching it we will find a turn-off to the right that ends at Camp Llarg. At the end of the last field one must turn left, following a half-lost path that skirts along the edge of the cliff where we will find several charcoal kilns (data from 1998). On seeing an accumulation of blocks one must turn right and go down the slope to the first ledge of the cliff, which we will follow to the right, until finding the cavity at the foot of the cliff.

Approximate coordinates without much precision.

Descrizione

Morfologia

A 2x2 metre portal that introduces us into an old pressure conduit where small cupolas can be observed, some of them have evolved to form chimneys, in one of them +9 metres is reached; the floor is formed by sedimentation of sand and many blocks located in the last stretch.

Storia

Located by Xavi Borruel of the GEB and explored by them in 1994. At the entrance of the cavity a graffiti was found corresponding to some initials (AGE) and the date 10-11-37, this date coinciding with the civil war, could be the cause of its use as a hiding place. It is unknown whether the cavity was known under another name.
