Canyoning

Canyoning doesn't sound great but is brilliant fun. Generally starting with a drive up a mountain track followed by a short walk you arrive at a gushing waterfall where you don wetsuits and then, assisted by your guide, abseil down the torrent, getting soaked in freezing water as you go. You then walk or paddle down a series through various pools to the next waterfall for more of the same. It certainly gets the adrenaline pumping.

Parapenting

This involves jumping off one of the nearby mountains with a wing (parachute). Again this one of the finest spots in the world for this activity with varied launch sites with easy access. Most people opt for a tandem flight with an instructor but there are week long courses on offer that will have you flying solo!
