Tips from the Community
Cinctorres, in the Els Ports de Morella region, is a small town surrounded by mountains and ravines, notable for the Roca Roja and Roca Parda natural viewpoints from which vultures are easily spotted. Its town center preserves squares and manor houses, as well as the Church of San Pedro Apóstol and several chapels. The route to the Sellumbres ravine offers an ideal setting for cycling through pine and holm oak forests, with gentle slopes and quiet country roads. It's advisable to bring binoculars to enjoy the birds of prey in flight, and make time to visit the local museum, which displays fossils and artifacts from traditional life.

Mirambel is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in the Maestrazgo: its complete walls, the beautiful Portal de las Monjas (Monks' Gate) with its latticework, and palaces like Casa Aliaga give it a film-like feel (Tierra y Libertad was filmed here). Cycling through its cobbled streets and heading towards the Cantavieja ravine allows you to connect with marked GR 8 trails and quiet paths toward Cantavieja or La Cuba, between meadows and pollarded black poplars. It's a perfect plan for gravel or trekking, with short but challenging climbs and uneven ground in some sections.

The town of Mirambel is included in the list of the 100 most beautiful in Spain and with good reason! Arriving at the town the views are wonderful and when you enter the town and walk through its streets you will feel that you have traveled back in time.

Ruins of the old Hermitage of Sant Marc, a curious construction due to its simplicity and still standing today. It is located in a truly remote place and that gives it an additional charm, a very quiet place, ideal for making a stop on the route and contemplating the landscape and the silence.

The town of Mirambel is included in the list of the 100 most beautiful in Spain and with good reason! Entering the town and walking through its narrow streets is a journey back in time. Arriving from the road, the view of the town is wonderful and worthy of a postcard!

Impressive view of the riverbed of the Rambla Celimonio. If you are lucky you can see some vultures that live here (and they go to Puçol to eat). From here you can see Castellfort, a good part of the beautiful route of the rambla and a view of Morella from the height.

I recommend eating at El Faixero, a hotel restaurant in the Bikefriendly network that for €12 the menu is terrific. They have a small bike shop.
