Activities such as hiking, caving, climbing, bird watching and balloon flight are the most outstanding. Although the most impressive and demanded is the one of canyoning, due to the abrupt geography of the interior of the province that provides to this activity spectacular ravines like the one of L'Estret de Les Penyes or the one of the Barranc de l'infern .
