Come and explore a municipality with plenty of surprises, history and landscapes up its sleeves. This part of the province of Castellón will steal your heart.
Located in El Alto Palancia in inland province of Castellón, Jérica is a municipality whose Historic Centre is calling out to be explored. Start your explorations by gazing at the scenery clinging to a castle-topped crag with spectacular cliffs carved by the River Palancia. With this impressive backdrop, you’re sure to make some unforgettable memories.
What to do in Jérica
We suggest starting with the spectacular remains of the castle, the Hermitage of San Roque or Santa Águeda la Vieja, the old stretches of wall, and also the Torre de la Muela and the Torreta. As you make your way down, you can then lose yourself in the town’s most quintessential streets.
Your route through Jérica will also take you to the emblematic Torre de las Campanas, also known as the Torre de la Alcudia, a 17th-century tower and true symbol of the town, with its distinctive Mudéjar style. Afterwards, head into the historic quarter and visit the Church of Cristo de la Sangre, a very interesting Neoclassical place of worship. You’re bound to enjoy wandering through these streets. What’s more, you’ll find information panels on the town’s most important buildings.
You’re also going to enjoy taking a look at the Town Hall and the collection on display in the Municipal Museum, which is housed in a more recent but no less charming building. Lastly, we’d recommend setting some time aside to visit Jérica’s Parish Collection in Santa Águeda la Nueva Church.
The time has now come to venture outside the centre to visit other points of interest like the Covered Gothic Cross and follow routes and trails that will take you on an exploration of old trenches, farmyards and water wheels.
La Vuelta de la Hoz is an absolute must-visit. Take a walk through the area embracing this bend in the River Palancia, which has, over time, eroded the wall of the mountain. The scenery here is unique, making it a great place for a walk or a stroll, or to make use of the picnic areas. Climbers will be pleased to hear that there are routes with great views here. Jérica is a destination that has it all so come to enjoy everything and then refuel with a delicious pastel jericano or two.
