パルクナチュラルデルペニャゴロサのおすすめツーリングルート

Area with interesting geology and a Roman bridge. It is worth the descent from the royal road of Mosquerola.

Beautiful gravel track from Puertomingalvo to the campsite near San Juan - a little rougher at the end.

a kind of official free camping spot - many locals here (by car) at the weekend; with toilets and showers.

really great gravel section from Puertomingalvo to Sant Joan De Penyagolosa and El Planàs Campsite. A bit rougher gravel at the end.

Chodos (in Valencian Xodos) is a municipality in the region of Alcalatén (Castellón). In the center of the town is its castle, of which only the remains of a tower and walls remain.

The sanctuary of Sant Joan de Penyagolosa (San Juan Bautista de Peñagolosa in Spanish) is located at the foot of the Peñagolosa massif. It is an important religious place and every year it serves as the end point of one of the oldest pilgrimages in the Valencian Community: The pilgrims of Useras.

Place of pilgrimage par excellence in the province

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.
