RouteXpert Review
VALDEROBLES:Valderrobles is a charming town in the Matarraña region, in the northwest of the province of Teruel and exhibits an invaluable heritage. The stone bridge gives access to the town, which swirled around its imposing castle between medieval streets.
The region offers incomparable settings for hiking, small routes, mountain bike tours, horseback riding, climbing, caving, canoeing and other adventure sports.
Historic center of Valderrobres:
The magic of Valderrobres is located in its historic center. It is advisable to leave the vehicle in one of its authorized car parks and walk to the main access to the old town.
Cross the stone bridge over the Matarraña river. From there you will discover the spectacular silhouette formed by the castle and the Church of Santa María in the center of the old town.
On the stone bridge it dates from the 15th century. There is the Portal de San Roque, a place where the right of pontazgo was charged during the Middle Ages and from which you can access the Plaza de España.
In the Plaza de España you can discover the magnificent City Hall building. It is a 16th century building with a large fish market and typical of the Aragonese Renaissance, including an Aragonese gallery and a large eaves carved in wood with plant decoration.
From there you have to go to the top of the hill to visit the monumental complex made up of the castle and the church. It is reached through narrow and steep streets. It is fascinating!
Visit to the Castle of Valderrobres:
The visit is well worth it. Its spacious rooms amaze. It can be done freely after watching an explanatory documentary. Admission is priced at € 4 and you can also visit the castle, the Gothic Church and the local museum.
Where to eat in Valderrobres
The gastronomic offer of Valderrobres is very wide and you will be able to eat well in many restaurants.
However, the Ca L'Angeleta inn is highly recommended, which has a very spacious restaurant where you can enjoy a high-quality home cooking menu and a wide assortment of dishes. And the attention of your staff is excellent. It is located outside the old town but very close.

About this region
Aragon ( or , Spanish and Aragonese: Aragón [aɾaˈɣon], Catalan: Aragó [əɾəˈɣo]) is an autonomous community in Spain, coextensive with the medieval Kingdom of Aragon. In northeastern Spain, the Aragonese autonomous community comprises three provinces (from north to south): Huesca, Zaragoza, and Teruel. Its capital is Zaragoza. The current Statute of Autonomy declares Aragon a historic nationality of Spain.
Covering an area of 47720 km2 (18420 sq mi), the region's terrain ranges diversely from permanent glaciers to verdant valleys, rich pasture lands and orchards, through to the arid steppe plains of the central lowlands. Aragon is home to many rivers—most notably, the river Ebro, Spain's largest river in volume, which runs west–east across the entire region through the province of Zaragoza. It is also home to the highest mountains of the Pyrenees.
As of January 2020, the population of Aragon was 1329391, with over half of it living in its capital city, Zaragoza. During the same year, the economy of Aragon generated a GDP of €34687 million, which represents 3.1% of Spain's national GDP, and is currently 6th in per capita production behind Madrid, Basque Country, Navarre, Catalonia and La Rioja.In addition to its three provinces, Aragon is subdivided into 33 comarcas or counties. All comarcas of Aragon have a rich geopolitical and cultural history from its pre-Roman, Celtic and Roman days, four centuries of Islamic rule as Marca Superior of Al-Andalus or kingdom (or taifa) of Saraqusta, as lands that once belonged to the Frankish Marca Hispanica, counties that later formed the Kingdom of Aragon, and eventually the Crown of Aragon.

7 day roundtrip from Girona to Catalonia Andorra and the Pyrenees
The Pyrenees stretch for more than 450 kilometers from the Bay of Biscay in the west to the Cap de Creus on the Mediterranean. The mountain range, with peaks of more than 3000 meters, forms a natural barrier that cuts off the Iberian Peninsula from the rest of Europe. The main ridge of the mountain range also largely forms the state border between France and Spain, while the microstate Andorra lies between these two countries.
Bordering the Pyrenees is Catalonia, the hinterland of Barcelona. No wonder many new models of motorcycles are introduced to the press in Catalonia. There are many great ways to test the new models there. An additional advantage is that it is very quiet! You would almost say 'too quiet' because there is a danger that at some point you will use the entire width of the road, under the guise of 'you won't see oncoming traffic here'.... But let's keep it safe and stay on the right side of the center line.
These seven routes of this collection pass through these beautiful areas. Each and every one of these routes where especially the sides of the tires have a hard time. Whether on the gentle slopes in Catalonia or on the balcony roads in the Gorges in the French Pyrenees, make sure they're excited, because you can bet it's going to be exciting!
A few sights are discussed in the review for each route. These often tell something about the history of the area in which you drive. Fun facts, quite educational. There are also places where you can refuel and where you can drink coffee and/or have lunch. You are completely free to visit these places, you can of course also determine your own points of interest.
But the main thing you probably traveled to this area for is simply driving. And as mentioned above, you are in a true motorcycle paradise where the steering is fantastic!
Each route ends at a hotel. It is of course not an obligation to use these hotels, you can always find another place to stay in the area, that decision is up to you. My experience, however, is that they are all simple but good hotels for a very reasonable price. They are known and can be booked at booking.com.
The routes of these collections:
R01 - Girona to Sant Julia de Loria, 269km
R02 - Sant Julia de Loria to Pierrefitte Nestalas, 290km
