1941 cave
La Secada VN52429791 Altitude 160m Length 55m Depth 6m
Updated 1st February 2006; 22nd October 2010
The entrance lies up in the trees on left of the northern track to Carcavueso.
An excavated hole that is a crawl enlarging slightly to another excavated
section up to the top of a rope climb down a 6m slippery slope into a chamber.
This has some well decorated sections and leads to a climb up and down through
boulders to a flat out glutinous crawl into another decorated chamber that
terminates in a draughting boulder choke.
The cave trends north and lies between the eastern end of Bollón and
the western end of Carcavueso.
In 2010 the entrance had collapsed.
