Monforte de Moyuela is a small village in the Jiloca region of Teruel, located at an altitude of over 1,000 meters and surrounded by the Oriche mountain range. It preserves remains of its 12th-century castle and a Roman dam, as well as several chapels and the parish church of La Asunción, rebuilt in the 19th century after the Carlist Wars. The town is part of the Route of El Cid, which makes it even more attractive for those cycling along historic, less-traveled paths. The terrain is mountainous, and it's advisable to bring good equipment and plenty of water, as services are limited in the area.

A city of transit since ancient times, Calamocha stands in the middle of the extensive plain of the Jiloca, on the right bank of the river. Its excellent geographical situation led to its being an important fortified enclave in the past. In fact, it was the city of El Cid passing through on his way to Valencian lands.
