Aragon Guide

Matarranya is a land of amazing landscapes and deep-rooted traditions. Valderrobles is the most outstanding town of the Matarranya, with its Town Hall declared a National Momument and its gothic castle, connected with the church of Santa Maria la Mayor, both buildings representing the most outstanding example of Gothic architecture in Teruel. Other towns of interest include Calaceite, Monroyo, Penarroya de Tastavins, Penyarolla, Fuentespalda, Beceite, Rafales, Oliete - where the Iberian settlement of El Cabezo de San Pedro de los Griegos can be found - and many others.

We also have to bear in mind one of the most important aspects of this region: its natural environment, appropiate for walks along the paths that cross low-lying lands and get into Beceite passes. Such mountains where numerous streams flow and hide in a lot of caves and caverns, pass through the valley and reach to the National Hunting Park, Hispanic Goat reservation.
