Linares: The Balcony of the Gúdar Mountain Range

It is a jewel of eighteenth-century baroque and National Monument. It stands out for its exempt bell tower, which is separated from the main body of the temple. Its interior of three naves is of great amplitude and elegance, reflecting the religious power of the area in the eighteenth century. Its silhouette dominates the valley, being the most recognizable symbol of this historic-artistic site.

Located in the highest part of the town, the remains of this fortress of Arab origin tell the frontier history of the town. It was a fundamental strategic point for the Kingdom of Aragon. Today, its walls and defensive structures offer an impressive natural viewpoint over the red tile roofs and dense pine forests that surround the town.

Near the town center is this hermitage surrounded by a natural landscape of great beauty. The walk to it allows crossing old stone bridges that span the river Linares. It is a place of absolute peace, very loved by the neighbors, where the popular architecture blends with the murmur of the water and the green of the mountains, ideal for gentle hiking and photography.

Linares de Mora preserves part of its walled enclosure, being the Portal de la Fuente one of the most emblematic entrances. This stone arch gave access to the town and connected with the main commercial routes. Crossing it, you enter a labyrinth of cobbled streets and stone houses with wrought iron balconies that keep intact the essence of the mountain villages of Teruel.
