Population of the Alcalatén region, in the province of Castellón (Valencian Community), very popular as a hiking and cycling destination, due to its proximity to the Penyagolosa National Park.

The origin of Xodos is Arab, and after the Reconquest, King Jaume I granted the lordship to the Aragonese nobleman Ximén de Urrea.

The cultural heritage of Xodos includes the parish church of San Pedro Mártir, from the 17th century, which has a nave with three altars and a bell tower, and the castle and walls of Xodos. It is believed that the whole municipality was surrounded by a wall, of which now only the tower of homage remains. The geographical location of Xodos, perched on a rock mass on a precipice above the Alcalatén river valley, was of great strategic importance. The fortification allowed the defense of one of the natural routes that communicated with Aragon.
