Stage Description

This stage of the Maestrazgo links Morella (one of the best preserved medieval villages in Spain, declared a historic-artistic site, with its impressive castle) with Zorita del Maestrazgo. The 21 km descend from the 1,000 m of Morella to the valley of the Bergantes along ancient bridle paths. The landscape is typical of the Maestrazgo, with farmhouses, sheepfolds and stony fields.
The stage that begins in Antequera is a undulating profile journey that enters the nor-eastern comarca of Málaga. The landscape is dominated by olive groves, which stretch out over a silver sea on the hills. It's a stage of great beauty and solitude. The arrival at Villanueva de Algaidas is the end of the stage. This town is famous for housing a singular rocky convent, excavated in the rock, that was the origin of the locality. Visiting the hermitage and caves is very interesting. It's a peaceful final stage with great flavor of history. The pilgrim can enjoy the hospitality of its people and the peace of the rural Andalusian surroundings.
