Grotte di Capafonts

Capafonts, a municipality in Baix Camp, brings together 29 inventoried cavities: 8 pits and 21 caves. The group totals 1195 m of passage and reaches a maximum depth of 34 m. The lithologies present are limestone, in 23 cavities, and dolomite, in 6.

Among the most notable cavities are the Avenc de la Llúdriga, 34 m deep, discovered and explored in 1968 by Josep Maria Capellades of the AAEEMI de Valls, and the Forat del Pere Pòstol, with 160 m of passage on the pla dels Motllats, with an entrance hall, upper gallery and meandering lower gallery. The Cova-avenc d'en Daniel, with two entrances and 31 m of depth, contains an archaeological site and a history of exploration since 1964. The Cova del Grèvol, 107 m, is an old spring of the waters of the pla dels Motllats, and the Forat del Vent Glaçat, 62 m, owes its name to the cold air current that comes out of its mouth.

Other deep cavities are the Forat de Picorandan, 22 m, explored and surveyed for the first time in June 2019; the Avenc de la Llastra, 19 m, at the font de la Llúdriga, and the Avenc Puig Ronda, 19 m, explored and surveyed by the GIEM of the Club Excursionista de Montblanc on 10 April 1993.
