Caratteristiche

Località

Leaving Mas de Barberans toward la Sénia on the TV-3421 road, at about 3 kilometres (shortly before the km. 12 marker) the forest track branches off to the right, and following the barranc de la Galera it climbs up to the Casetes Velles – Refugi del Mas del Frare. Halfway along, the municipality and the comarca change. In fact, the Ullal de Pasqual had always been cited as being in Mas de Barberans (Montsià) when in reality it is in Roquetes (Baix Ebre).

Once past the turnoff leading to the Cova del Vidre, on the left of the track there is a water tank, shortly before the bassa and font de la Llagosta. From the font de la Llagosta one sets off to the right along a path and after about 130 metres of descent the cavity is on the right, between the path and a small barranc there.

Descrizione

Morfologia

A low entrance through which one enters a gallery a little more than one metre wide and which continues with a low ceiling. The floor is covered with sediments and small rubble. At about 25 m from the entrance the passage turns some 45º to the right and the ceiling drops further before gaining a little height within a few metres. In this stretch some pools can already be found, and immediately afterwards, via a small ramp-like step, one reaches a lower gallery of larger dimensions and a high ceiling. The final stretch is a small chamber decorated with many speleothems and which climbs a little until it becomes impassable. Below it there is a concavity that is completely flooded.

Concrezioni

The final stretch is a small chamber decorated with many speleothems.

Idrologia

In this stretch some pools can already be found. Below the final small chamber there is a concavity that is completely flooded. These conditions apply in the dry season, but with rainy weather the cavity can become active for a certain time.

Storia

Certainly known to the inhabitants of the area since ancient times. Despite this, it had never been cited in the old speleological catalogues and the first exploration of which we have news was carried out by members of the GIE – Club Excursionista de Gràcia at the end of July 1968.

For the moment we are publishing this “vintage” record while awaiting more recent data and an update.
