Description:
Two caves so far discovered; one an abandoned(?) resurgence at river level 📌, the other close to multiple sinks 📌 in the bed of the stream that flows into the depression which is to the east of the road between the Mirador and Camijanes and south of the road from the Mirador to Abanillas.
The ‘resurgence rift’ is almost certainly Cueva del Rejo:

Visits:
2009.06.26 – Exploration of dry resurgence
2009.07.01 – Initial exploration of cave close to sinks
2010.07.14 – Exploration of sink cave down climbs to rift
2010.07.14 – Re-exploration of dry resurgence (approach from S.)
2011.05.19 – Another re-exploration of dry resurgence (attempted climb); big bats
2018.05.18 – Another re-exploration of dry resurgence
Other:
The cliff below the Mirador de Cofría seems to be a well-known climbing site.
