Spectacular balma that pierces the ridge and was once arranged as a key access point to the valley. The dry stone zigzags the ridge to comfortably access from one side of the ridge to the other.
Known since ancient times as Lluminosa to differentiate it from the relatively nearby cave which, being a closed gallery, is known as Llòbrega.
Cited by Faura in his Collection (1909) and by Ferraté in Speleologia de les comarques Tarragona (1918), although neither gives more information than the name.
We are not aware of any specific cataloging work, although it is well known by hikers.
When the Mestral winds blow, which is quite common, the force of the wind increases dramatically as it passes through the Cave.
