Barranc de l'InfernIt’s the ravine of the Girona River; the perfect place to hike (PR-v 147) and to climb, not only because of the views but also for its geological and architectonical interest. Along the ravine you can find many caves, such as la Cova del Rull and la Cova de Reinós, some of which have ancient cave paintings. [Foto: www.arroscaldos.com ] |
