Cantavieja

Cantavieja, the historic capital of the Maestrazgo tolarvalense, is one of the most spectacular and characterful villages that a pilgrim can find on the interior Jacobean routes. Nestled on a limestone outcrop over 1,200 meters high, this village, declared a Historic-Artistic Ensemble, offers impressive views and a medieval atmosphere that transports visitors back to the times of the military orders. Its covered Plaza Mayor, dedicated to Christ the King, is one of Aragon's most singular squares. The church of the Assumption and the remains of its Templar castle are witnesses to its borderland and warrior past. For the pilgrim on the Camino de Sagunto, arriving in Cantavieja is a reward for effort, a place to immerse oneself in the history of the Templars and the Maestrazgo. The village has good services and a hearty cuisine, ideal for replenishing strength. It's a stop that combines heritage, landscape, and a deep sense of history, an unforgettable milestone in the heart of Teruel's mountains.
