The best walks and hikes around La Cuba

Mirambel is a village integrated into the network of The Beautiful Villages of Spain. Currently, 110 residents officially live there. Beautiful village, extremely well-maintained (received the Europa Nostra Gold Medal in 1981 for its restoration efforts). Completely walled, some parts still visible. Enter through the portal of the Nuns to see the plaster latticework and wooden decorations. Points of interest: Mirambel Church, Casa Aliaga, Casa Castellot, Easy access with parking for cars at the entrance of the village from where you can start the visit to the village or the nearby PR route. It has a small supermarket in the very center where you can find local food and water. Restrictive opening hours (come equipped or check beforehand).

A small, very well-maintained path (benches, paved, lighting) to reach the Hermitage of San Tremedal. A 10 to 15 minute walk.

Tronchon is a very charming village in the Maestrazgo of Aragon. Currently, its census is 56 people. Templar Village with history. It is very small and can be visited in 30 minutes or a maximum of 2 hours. Around the village you can find farms that sell the most precious commodity in the region: Tronchón cheese with its characteristic shape (cheese mentioned in Don Quixote and which was also presented to the French Court by the Count of Aranda). Almost all production is still done artisanally. It has a tourist office open ONLY in summer and holiday bridges. From July 14 to August 31. Opening hours from 11 am to 2 pm and from 4 pm to 7 pm. Sunday afternoon and Monday closed. Guided tours at 12:30 pm and 5:00 pm. The access is essentially by a slightly narrow road either from Olocau del Rey or from Cantavieja. I recommend the road from Cantavieja. To eat, there is only Casa Matilde but it is undoubtedly worth it.

Sant Pere és el patró de Cinctorres.

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.
