The initial course of the Muga River through the forest leaves beautiful pools of water perfect for cooling off in summer and enjoying its precious waters in winter. From the town of Albanyà you can take a walking tour to explore these river areas.

Mountain biking

Fantastic gorges that today have enough water to immerse yourself in with your whole body.
Today I was the only one who swam in them, but it was a "tasty" after almost 50 km and 1400 meters of elevation gain.

Hiking

Bathing shoes are recommended, then you can walk up or down the cascades without canyoning equipment.
