Beautiful village with wonderful bathing spots

The Chillapájaros Straits owe their name to the echoes of the birds that inhabit the rocky area, also known as the Mijares Canyon, which is an impressive limestone cut caused by a fault, patiently filed and excavated by the surface runoff of the Mijares River. Here the river bed passes through a deep gorge, two walls more than a hundred meters high in a vertical drop, in a passage about twenty-five meters wide. The road accompanies the river at different heights, approximately 40 m in elevation. The perspectives of this formidable gorge, of its cliffs, can be seen through two large “balconies”, built inside a tunnel that opens the way to the Mijares highway. Later, the viewpoints mentioned above were incorporated. From all of them, you can see the pronounced escarpments carved by the Mijares, whose rocky walls are the destination of numerous climbers throughout the year.

In Olba, a charming municipality in the province of Teruel, there are several interesting places to visit. Arenós Reservoir: This reservoir, near Olba, offers beautiful views and is ideal for outdoor activities. Olba Historic Center: Explore the streets and discover local architecture, such as the Church of San Pablo and the Cathedral of San Simplicio. I hope you have an amazing trip! 😊

One of the most notable characteristics of the municipality and that draws the most attention is the dispersion of its population centers. Throughout the valley, groups of houses of various sizes are distributed. The largest is the core of Olba, itself. But we also find the following neighborhoods or villages: Los Lucas, Los Ibáñez Bajos, la Tosca, los Ramones, los Pertegaces, los Villanuevas, los Giles, Casa Bolea, el Casucho, la Artiga, los Ibáñez Altos, la Hoya Ramos, los Tarragones , the Tarrasones, the Moya, the Villagrasas, the Peñablanca, the Barranco del Lobo... among others. The so-called "upper neighborhoods" far from the river and located in the mountains are currently abandoned, with some exceptions. The neighborhoods receive the surnames of the first Christian settlers. Although the name of the neighborhood "Los Ramones" has nothing to do in its origins with the rock band of the same name, the traffic signs with the name of the neighborhood have been the subject of various thefts, presumably as "souvenirs" of the band.
