GUDAR MOUNTAINS

The mountain range of Gudar, is formed by a massif of high mountain (Peñarroya peak 2019 m), where we find the source of the rivers Guadalope, Mijares, Linares, y Alfambra; while the mountain range of Javalambre, has its peak of Javalambre (2020m), as well as a compound of tubular high-plateaus or "muelas". Both of them contain plenty of pine forests, oak trees and maple trees, which grow thanks to the rainy climate. on the other hand, if we speak of the fauna, we must say we can find various species of birds of prey, as well as trouts in most of the rivers between other.

Most of its villages still conserve the traces of medieval constructions such as the so strongly defended Mosqueruela, the "casonas" of Rubielos de Mora, or the division in different medieval quarters of Mora de Rubielos. We can also find traces of the gothic style in some constructions such as the "Colegiata de Santa Maria de Mora", and it's castle of Levantine-gothic style, the same style as in the "Puertomingalvo" and the castles, defence walls and frames at Mora de Rubielos, Mosqueruela and Linares, including the façade of the church of Mosqueruela.

These villages also conserve some of the works of the Renaissance, with special mention to the church of Alcala de la Selva, and we can find some traces of the Baroque style in the church of Puertomingalvo, in the town hall of Linares, and in the churches of Villarluengo and Gúdar in harmony with traces of neoclassical style.

The region of Gúdar-Javalambre has the charm of its gastronomy and its beautiful landscape; one can sample, in any of the villages, the tasty Jam, or the Cecina (cures sliced beef), and enjoy beautiful views of natural landscapes, where one can practice all kinds of winter and mountain sports, and enjoy the trout-fishing sites of the rivers Villarluengo, Pitarque, Sarrion, Mora de Rubielos, Valbona…
