La Sarratella
Highlight • Settlement
Historically, it was part of the Encomienda de Les Coves de Vinroma and with it it was the lordship of Blasco de Alagón between the years 1235 and 1242. Later, it was the Templars who were in charge of governing the town. In the archives and annotations of the town map of Albocácer it appears that originally the town was called Sierra de Biarach. During the first half of the 16th century, it took the name of Sarratella de Biarach and it was not until the last third of the same century when the place name of Sarratella was made official. The demographic indicators of the town have been growing throughout its history until it surpassed the barrier of 700 inhabitants in the first years of the 20th century. Since 1900 the population has been constantly reducing until it currently reaches 93 registered people. Its geographical location and orography seduced prehistoric groups. Very close to the hill where the hermitage is located there was an Epipalaeolithic site. Furthermore, in several areas of its territory, cave paintings have been discovered that are part of the Levantine rock art, declared a World Heritage Site.

Economic activities are dedicated to agriculture and livestock. Agriculture is traditionally based on dryland agriculture, with olive and almond cultivation predominating. Livestock farming is mainly based on grazing and pig and poultry farms. The scarce industry is related to agriculture and oil.
Urban tour
La Sarratella is a small town, which is very easy to get around. During the tour you can see the harmony that the houses maintain with each other, the tranquility of its people and the dark green of the mountainous landscape that can be seen from almost any area of the town. Despite being a small town, the places of interest that we can find are many and quite varied: The building of the old oven, with clear medieval traces. The torrent, located in the lower part of the town, whose complex is made up of a fountain, a water trough and some washing places. The town hall inaugurated in 1958 with some porches that limit the public part of the common part of the town halls of the medieval period. The hermitage of San Juan and the Church of San Miguel, where there is a front of the green velvet altar on which you can see Saint Michael embroidered fighting against the devil.
Landscape
The landscape is very mountainous, with large slopes that provide impressive views to the sea. Holm oaks and bushes scented with rosemary, thyme, lavender and other aromatic plants predominate. The climate is cool and pleasant in summer contrasting with the cold winter. The town is located at about 800 meters above sea level, although the highest point in the area is at 937 meters where the hermitage of San Juan Nepomuceno is located with an unbeatable panoramic view.

Albocàsser
Highlight • Settlement
Albocàsser, in the Alt Maestrat region, is a very old town, founded in no less than 1239 and in its upper part contains the most interesting points for a visit to its urban area. There you can find in the main square the Parish Church of the Assumption, built in a severe Baroque style on the original Gothic temple and which preserves an altarpiece and interesting examples of goldsmithing inside.
Another architectural treasure that has survived the passage of time is the hermitage of Santos Juanes, from the end of the 13th century, a simple and rustic temple with a lot of charm that you should not miss the opportunity to visit if you are sightseeing in Albocàsser. A little further away is the hermitage and inn of Sant Pau, built between the 16th and 17th centuries and with a beautiful façade with a bell tower. Neighbors come to it in pilgrimage and celebrate traditional dances.
Continuing with the list of things to do in Albocàsser, we cannot fail to remind you that its municipal area is part of the Valltorta-Gasulla Cultural Park, which protects shelters with cave paintings. In addition to these interesting relics of the past, you can go hiking in places such as the Barranco de les Calçades, the Mas de les Llomes, the Font del Bosq, els Tolls, Las Devesas and the Barranc de la Selda and a good number of routes further.
Finally, you can buy high-quality local olive oil or taste their sweets made with almonds. And don't leave without trying their grilled meats, the typical pot or their heavenly coca!
