In addition, the migration rate of the Province of Huesca is between -6 and 0. Moreover, the province has a gross rate of total population change lower than -6 per every 1000 inhabitants.

Nonetheless, in peak Summer months it does already suffers from over-tourism at particular cultural monuments.
