Description:
It’s a small cave which was formed due to dissolution of soluble rocks from a fissure. The entrance to the cave is at ground level, with a diameter of 0,60 metres. Then there is a short tunnel which must be crossed by crawling while descending slightly. Behind this tunnel there is a small room and several galleries which aren’t very long. It’s located in a relatively flat area with esparto field and rosemaries together with some dispersed Aleppo pines near a road.
