Población de la provincia de Castellón situado en la zona del parque de la Tinança de Benifassà. Famosa entre otras muchas cosas por su entorno natural y el inicio de la marcha nocturna Fredes_Paúls que se celebra la primera luna de junio cada año.

Fredes is the northernmost town in the Valencian Community. It belongs to the municipality of La Pobla de Benifassà, in the province of Castellón, Baix Maestrat county. It is located at an altitude of 1090 meters, in the middle of the Tinença de Benifassà natural park. The village has a fountain and a bar restaurant, although it has limited hours and it is convenient to check if it is open. It also has a couple of tourist apartments, located in the same building as the restaurant bar.

When the path enters the Barranc de la Ronyosa, a passage opens between the Mola del Ferri to the north and the Mola de Magraner to the south, narrowing noticeably. The high walls and the balsams that we are seeing make it very attractive. It goes without saying that in case of heavy rains some problem may arise to go around it.

This abandoned and dilapidated Mas would not be different from many others that are in the same conditions but, its location and the open space where the era is located, allows you to have fantastic panoramic views. It's worth stopping and enjoying the view or grabbing a bite.

The Parish Church of Sant Abdó and Sant Senén de Fredes, also known as the Church of the Saints of the Stone, is a Catholic religious building, which is located in the town center of Fredes in the Baix Maestrat region. It is listed as an Asset of local relevance, with the category of Monument of local interest. It is a temple, with a single nave and masonry factory, with ashlar reinforcements in the corners, of great simplicity. Inside it stands out the existence of a high choir and outside its bell tower. The bell tower is ashlar, slender and simple, with loopholes and openings for the bell in the form of a semicircular arch. The church has its origin in the foundation, in 1261, of a temple by monks of the Order of the Cistercian, who were in the Monastery of Santa María, in this location with the intention of creating a new population center , Freds. The original temple suffered several damages throughout history, mainly due to military conflicts, so its walls were in very poor condition. This led to the completion of a new temple dated 1725.

Fountain magnificently arranged inside the dry stone wall of a bank. Also watch out for a trough outside.

Imposing natural passage between large walls that was part of the old road that joined Fredes with La Senia. On the steep path, coming from Fredes, we find several basins and cavities of different depths. If we continue, without crossing the Portell, in the direction of Punta del Solà d'en Brull (E.) we will be able to see the Foradada de la Cova del llop and the magnificent Cova de l'Aire.
