Travel Guide El Maestrat

At 17 km from Morella, the lords of the Temple and the knights of Pope gave his name to this solitary region. To control the border territory between Valencia and Aragon, they have erected fortified squares in strategic points. The best preserved is that of Morella. In the south, the village of Ares del Maestre is surrounded by a rocky wall of 1 318 m above sea level. The landscape of the Maestrat region is impressive: Fertile valleys are alternating with vertigineux precipices and stripped mountains and circuitous and vultures. Attention: the hotel offer is almost non-existent.
