Hiking
The caves of l'Espluga de Francolí are a set of natural cavities formed in the conglomerate rock. Speleological explorations began in 1956, and so far 3,600 meters of galleries have been explored, making them one of the longest caves in the world.
The archaeological findings inside show that they have been occupied since the Paleolithic: the last discovery, in 2019, was a Paleolithic sanctuary made up of more than 300 engravings, some of them more than 36,000 years old. The visits are guided and can be booked from covesdelespluga.info
