About the catalogue

EspeleoÍndex brings together 4876 caves catalogued in Catalonia —caves, potholes and rock shelters— documented with coordinates, a description, and surveys and photographs where available. The catalogue covers every Catalan county, with Baix Llobregat, Berguedà and Vallès Occidental among those with the most catalogued caves at the current count.

You can explore the catalogue by county, by type —caves andpotholes— or bylithology, with calcàries, conglomerats and dolomies among the most common lithologies. Each cave entry includes location, description, entrances with coordinates, photographs and surveys where available, bibliography and, where relevant, history and cave-dwelling biology, plus a location map and the option to download it as a PDF or share it.

EspeleoÍndex is a private, non-profit initiative, open since 2008 to contributions from the whole Catalan caving community.
