PR-CV 229 LA MATA

Promoter: Ayuntamiento de la Mata de Morella

Certification status: Positive quality control

0 reviews

Following the inspection carried out by trail technicians, this trail has been declared of "limited adequacy" as a result of the faults detected in the signage. These include inadequate horizontal signs (paint markers) and/or vertical ones (trailheads and information boards) or lacking direction markers that do not provide sufficient information to properly follow the route. The builder of this trail has been informed of the situation.
For safety reasons and during maintenance work, it is advised to be extremely careful while taking this route. Furthermore, mountain sports entail risks associated with the activity itself and the environment where they take place, for which any person is fully liable. For this reason, hikes need to be planned properly and adequate training, equipment and sensible use of the trails are required.

A route with samples of dry stone architecture where we will cross the Cantavieja river a couple of times, pass by the farmhouse of les Clapisses and ascend to the vicinity of the Tossal from where we can contemplate a great view of the village of Cuba, already in the province of Teruel.

Route description (only available in Spanish)

Iniciamos la ruta en la calle Carretera y nos dirigiremos hacia el sur junto al barranco que hay frente a la calle San Roque hasta cruzar el río Cantavieja por un bonito paraje. Tomaremos la senda que en fuerte ascenso zigzaguea siguiendo vías pecuarias. Pasaremos junto al pou del Tossal hasta llegar al collado en las proximidades del mas del Tossal. Ya en descenso por camino de tierra, podremos disfrutar de la vista del pueblo de la Cuba, en la provincia de Teruel.

Cuando el camino se bifurque tomaremos el de la izquierda (azagador de les Clapisses) y seguiremos por el mismo junto a un bosque de pinos hasta que en una curva cerrada hacia la derecha. Abandonaremos el camino para continuar por senda en descenso hasta encontrarnos de nuevo con un camino de tierra junto al mas de les Clapisses. A partir de aquí continuaremos por el camino junto al barranco de les Clapisses. Llegaremos a cruzar el barranco y continuaremos sin dejar el camino hasta que en un punto se bifurca en dos paralelos al principio. Cogeremos el de la izquierda de forma que iremos rodeando la montaña hasta encontrarnos con el cruce del PR-CV 247 y acto seguido llegar de nuevo al río Cantavieja, que lo atravesaremos por el paso de la palanca de Santa Bárbara. Seguimos el camino hasta la granja Piquer donde nos desviaremos a la izquierda para seguir una senda junto a paredes de bancales hasta que alcancemos el camino para, al poco, llegar a la Mata.
