Jérica

Jerica, a picturesque medieval village in the Alto Palancia region, is one of the most charming stops on the Camino de Sagunto. Its defining feature is the Tower of Bells, a Mudéjar style tower that stands out over a rocky promontory, an unique construction in Valencia. The town, with its Arab origins, preserves a narrow and steep street pattern that ascends to the remains of its castle. For pilgrims, Jerica offers a journey into the Middle Ages and a beautiful natural environment, with the Palancia river creating scenic spots like the Hoz Turn. The locality boasts an interesting religious heritage, with several churches and hermitages. With services for walkers, such as hostels and restaurants, it is an ideal stopover for rest and contemplation. On the Camino de Santiago, Jerica is a milestone that combines the uniqueness of its Mudéjar architecture with the beauty of the interior landscape of Castellón, an authentic and memorable experience.
