Hiking Highlight
Recommended by 7 hikers
Location: Canet Lo Roig, Bajo Maestrazgo, Castellón, Spain
It is a thousand-year-old specimen within the Canet lo Roig estate that has the largest number of the entire Valencian Community (1131 specimens).
Some of the olive trees were studied by the Polytechnic University of Madrid, which determined their date of planting in the year 569 AD.
Among so many ancient olive trees, there is one that stands out and it is the one nicknamed "4 legs" that has even won an award for its shape and beauty and that is also related to war stories serving as a refuge.
Definitely a place to visit with the whole family!
