El Maestrazgo Turolense, Cantavieja and La Iglesuela del Cid

The Maestrazgo is a region shared between the lands of eastern Teruel and the inland villages of Castellón.

As it is a very large region of great natural beauty, with a great heritage and history, we recommend that you prepare it for short weekend getaways.

Two beautiful villages in Spain

This region was an important front line in the battles of the Carlist Wars, which is why in some cases it was greatly affected by the fighting, but in other cases it benefited from the construction of villas and mansions of a certain importance and relevance among the bourgeoisie and nobility who settled in the Maestrazgo region.
