Abstract
The town of Santa Pau is located in the heart of the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone (NE Iberian Peninsula) and includes some of the main attractions of the area, as the volcano Santa Margarita or Fageda d'en Jorda. It is also a population with an interesting medieval old town, which highlight the box and the arcaded square. A survey of visitors to this population has yielded a clear picture of the characteristics and forms of access to the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone.

We also examined the various activities during the stay in the volcanic zone.
