Walk in the footsteps of Phoenicians,
Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Medieval Knights, and even El Cid.
You walk up a village street that looks like Tudor England yet pre-dates
it. You’ stroll down another festooned with flags of a country that you
don’t know. You see church domes tiled in cobalt blue and village trees
laden with ripe figs. Where are you? Your eyes are feasting on the
unique, quaint, and friendly villages of the Maestrazgo.
Do you enjoy challenging country walks? Follow paths that farmers
from Iberian times beat from village to farm and that are used to this
day. Climb Roman roads past terraced hillsides laden with olive,
almond, and carob groves. Your reward: Viewing 16 far-flung villages
from one astonishing panorama.
Tour medieval mountain hermitages where pilgrims, knights, and
caravans found safe haven. Quench your thirst at fountains built into
rocks. Find 450,000,000 year-old sea fossils now scattered at 1200
meters above sea level. Challenge yourself to spot wild goats clambering on the high massif. Wander historic towns and shop for amazing bargains in local textiles, crafts, pottery, and foods. Learn more about our region at History.
I’ve studied the history, people, culture, and specifically the horticulture
of the Maestrazgo, so I’ll keep you intrigued and informed as we
walk this fascinating and varied region. I speak Spanish, French, and
some Valenciano, which is the local language. Drop a note to me with
your area of interest or any questions at : marg@cyclespana.com.

The walking areas are safe. For ankle support, wear walking boots not
