For a good visualization you have to go down a lost path, which as such I have tendrils that you have to be careful because they prick. I think the place has no name (if not, correct me) and that is why I have named it a dry cenote, apparently similar to the famous Mexican cenotes filled with water. The photographs do not do its size justice. Quietly it has a diameter of 20 or 30 meters and a depth of as many others, you have to be very careful when you approach to look around, it is dangerous.

An interesting climbing area. There are multiple short climbing routes here. If you are not a climber, it is still interesting to visit it on a walk or by bike.

Inside the Gorgs de la Mola, this beautiful corner, where you can contemplate from within it, all the splendor that the Gorgs offer, goes unnoticed, although looking at it while I was soaking my feet, I had it in front of me and it caught my attention within an idyllic setting. You can still find beautiful corners like this.
