Upon
announcing that Jaq. and I were going to
We were
walking on a ridge on the first day when it started to thunder and lightning so
we headed off down a dry torrent, as the call the stream beds in
I
continued down the stream bed and on the nexct climb down I found
a hole about 2ft by 3ft in the middle of a limestone cliff. I returned
a couple of days later with a light and climbed in using 2 inch gour
as handholds, unfortunately the passage turned a corner and after ten
feet was calcited up.
The sun
came out in the middle of the holiday and we began walking around the area,
making plans for a go at the ridge above Cala san Vicente. However on the last
two days which we had ticked off for the ridge it rained. While moaning to the
landlord about the weather he told me about a cave on the outskirts of town
which started as a crawl but got much bigger, this was confirmed by an old
English chap who had been on holiday there for nine years.
After a
long search I found the eight foot high, mushroomed shaped stone obelisk which
was the marker for the cave. I crossed the road and climbed the double wall and
there was a ten foot square concrete box built against a limestone cliff.
Inside it was tipped pans, kettles and rocks blocking the cave entrance. It
Obviously needed digging out and I had no time.
But if YOU
ever go to Cala san Vicente, there it is!
