When Pascual Madoz gathered Aliaguilla data for his dictionary in 1845, he was told of a cave at Collado de la Plata: several entrances, chambers inside, white stalactites resembling jasper and, deep within, a sound like a stream running underground. He placed Sobrarias woodland 800 varas south, with the foundations of Plaza de Sobrarias.
This is an old description; no published caving study of the cave exists.
