Day
1

Meet up in Beceite (Hotel Font del Pas). Briefing.
Beceite - Valderrobres. 6 km

Valderrobres is a municipality and the major town of Matarranya region in the province of Teruel. To gain access into the town you cross the medieval bridge of San Roque, held up by pointed arches, and a Renaissance townhall building.


Its urban layout is composed of narrow, winding streets which creep up the top of the hill in search of the two most emblematic buildings: The Gothic church of Santa Maria and the castle. The name of the town means "Valley of Oaks", referred to the presence of oak (roure in local language).

Day
2

Beceite-Penyagalera peak - Beceite.18 km.

Penyagalera forms a rocky line of conglomerate and limestone which marks the border between the provinces of Tarragona and Teruel. During ascent we can appreciate the thousands of years of eroding activity water. Depending on the weather, we may enjoy a bath in the Uldemó River.

Day
3

Beceite - Moles D’ Arany - Font Ferrera hut. 17 km.

Leave towards El Parrizal. Today we will see one of the wildest landscapes of the week. For the most part, we follow the PR route with its continuous ascents and descents. The highest part reaches Roca Morera and Moles de Arany. Enjoy awesome views. The itinerary continues down to the Matarranya River and La Coscollosa ravine, amongst woody mixed masses of pines, holm oaks.

Day
4

Font Ferrera - Tossal Three Kings - Fredes. 13 km.

Our route leads us into the Natural Park of La Tinença de Benifassá. We leave the dense forest that surrounds Font Ferrera and head up to Tossal Los Tres Reyes - Three Kings Peak 1350 m. height-. We get an awesome panoramic view. It marks the border among the provinces of Tarragona, Castellón and Teruel. Then, descent to Fredes.

Day
5

Fredes. Circular around. El Portel del Infern. 13 km.

One of the best routes offered in La Tinença de Benifassá Natural Park. The first section, runs along the former horseshoe path that links the villages of Fredes and La Senia, through the mythical natural pass El Portell del Infern, among large limestone rock walls.


The itinerary invites us to enjoy the surrounding nature: extensive woods, “Masías”, and river gorges. It is precisely the lack of human influence which has preserved the ecosystems of these lands.

Day
6

Fredes - Boixar - Vallibona. 20 km.

As on the previous day, we walk along the GR7 leaving Fredes, the last of the towns of La Tinença, a territory which was part of the estate of the Abbot of the Monastery of Benifassá. James I the Conqueror recovered these lands before the conquest of Valencia, and in 1233 founded a commemorative hermitage on Mount Beni Hasan.


First get Boixar (means a place round by buxus) and then from here, almost always in descent, we reach Vallibona, another small town of less than 40 inhabitants.

Day
7

Vallibona - Morella. 15 km.

That is the final day in this area with its intricate mountain ranges before reaching the spectacular Morella, a town which can be seen for hours in the distance. A town laden with history: Calle Els Porxes, the Town Hall, Iglesia de Santa María Church, Towers and Castle, Renaissance Noble Palaces and a lot more.


Its walls have borne witness to legends such as El Cid, Rodrigo Diaz, who passed through Morella in the year 1084, or the Tiger of El Maestrazgo, Ramón Cabrera, a Carlist General who took up a strong position in the town.

Day

Travelers’ perceptions

Travelers’ perceptions

The Three Kingdoms Trail (wandelreizen Spanje) It is difficult to say what was not good. We have enjoyed the trip (De Drie Koninkrijken wandelreis), especially the nature and the typical Spanish villages. Also the people in the hotels and guesthouses receive us very good with typical and good food. We have had no problems with the descriptions of the way, sometimes we have to look but that is normal and it give a little suspense. I give you a 10/10 for the trip and the warm welcome we have had in Spain and we say tot volgende keer!ˮ

Die 3 Königreiche Lieber Eye is Delighted, wieder einmal verbrachten wir sehr erholsame Wandertage mit Maestrex. Du hast alles für uns wunderbar arrangiert. Alles stimmte von der Unterbringung, über die Verköstigung bis hin zu den exzellent organisierten Wanderungen. Sogar für gutes Wetter hast du gesorgt. Es wird mit Sicherheit ein nächstes Mal geben, und dann werden wir Freunde mitbringen.Ganz herzlichen Dank auch für deine stille Begleitung im Hintergrund.Das Maestrazgo sowie die Tour der Tres Reinos beherbergen Landschaften von einer ruhigen mediterranen Schönheit, in die wir uns verliebt haben. Auf baldˮ

ELS PORTS, Spanien. Beceite – Font Ferrera – Boixar – Vallibona – Morella. Vi fik en helt fantastisk tur i Els Ports i uge 41. Perfekt vejr, perfekte udsigter og en smuk, smuk natur. Guidet af Ignacio, var vi i kyndige hænder. Vi fik fortalt den utrolige historie om krige, borgerkrig, kirker og borge. 14 danske vandrere fik en uforglemmelig oplevelse”ˮ

OTTE DAGES VANDRING Den første dags transport sendte et godt signal. Alt fungerede. Overnatningsstederne var alle velvalgte. God og personlig betjening. En særlig oplevelse var Refugiet i Font Ferrera. Godt, at vi lod os overtale af Ignacio, men klogt at informere inden. Naturen er overvældende. Kulturen ligeså. Man fornemmer virkelig den svundne tid. Lidt skuffende, at mange små kirker var lukkede, men det kender vi jo også fra DK. Hvad kulturen angår, må også sidste hele dag i Morella fremhæves. Det skal understreges, at den dgl.skriftlige info var i top.ˮ
