Spain is a country of great historical value where still today, some of the most impressive ancient constructions of the medieval era are preserved, remaining as thousands of years ago, places where it seems that time has stopped. We will visit the northeast area of the peninsula from Teruel to France, where we will find small walled villages with modest homes, palatial houses, majestic castles, fortifications and towers. A trip to another time where you can enjoy the most authentic.
Departure from Madrid by rental car with a first stop at the beautiful villa of Albarracín, considered one of the most beautiful villages in Spain. You will continue to Teruel, a beautiful city of Aragon with great architectural richness that combines Mudejar and Gothic art. The Mausoleum of the Lovers of Teruel or the Plaza del Torico will be other attractions that you will discover. Overnight in Mora de Rubielos.
Free day to continue touring the medieval villages of the area among which we highlight Rubielos de Mora and Puertomingalvo that correspond to the region of Júdar-Javalambre. Overnight in Mora de Rubielos.
After breakfast we will follow our medieval village itinerary to the north of the province. Our first stop will be Cantavieja, with its Templar Castle crowning the villa. The Villa de Morella, which you will find on your way is one of the most beautiful in Castellón, its centuries-old walls and its Castle will occupy a good part of the afternoon.

We now head towards the Mediterranean and its medieval villages that will bring us closer to Catalan culture. First stop in Castellfollit de la Roca, small but spectacular, raised on a 50m cliff.
