Northern Spain caving

[anfieldman]

I would like to take a second look at a cave that I think might be new. It is in the Picos de Europa but it is slightly north of the park toward Cabrales. Has anyone got any info on known caves around this area because all I can find is OUCC stuff in the park.
You help is much appreciated! 

Regards
Mark

If I remember correctly ULSA had several trips here in the early 70s.

Also check out speleo-abstracts in the library.

York Uni also had several trips out there in the late 80's.

You could try to contact the SIE (Barcelona based club who have done a lot in the Picos)

LUSS were there as well, back in the day. Talk to people like Madden, or alternatively Google 'Dosser's Delight'. See where that gets you.

Best of luck...and if you want help...

JRAT was there in 1970. Check out his log book on the off chance there is something useful.

Thanks for all the replies so far.  This will give me a good start.

You should also contact the people from Spekul (Belgium). They are currently exploring "the Sima Cornisa" which is more then -1500m deep and they have a lot of up to date information.
