THE PERFECT WEEKEND /
The imposing mountains of Gúdar and Javalambre, closed in on themselves, have created an inner world rich in nature, traditions, ancestral flavors and beautiful visual and sound landscapes crossed by rivers of fresh water. In this region in the south of Teruel, on the border with the province of Valencia, luxury is space and silence.
Looking for a quiet getaway? Or do you prefer a vacation with action and adventure?
We have plans for all tastes!
DAY 1- DISCOVERING THE OLBA VALLEY
In the morning. Stay in Olba and discover this small and unknown valley of Teruel. Casa de Los Moyas is next to the Mijares river, so in summer the excursions end with a dip in one of its pools. You can visit the trenches of the Civil War, the Fuente de la Salud and its aqueduct, or walk the picturesque streets of the hometown of the great fashion designer Manuel Pertegaz.
If you prefer something more active, you can climb, go canyoning, canoeing with expert guides and mountain or road bike routes.
To eat, there are several options in the town.
In the afternoon. 10 minutes from our house is Rubielos de Mora, one of the most beautiful villages in Spain. The whole town is a historical and monumental complex that you have to walk slowly to discover its palatial houses and the stories that each of its lampposts keep. A few kilometers from there is Mora de Rubielos. You cannot miss its castle, one of the best preserved in Aragon. If you like shopping. You will enjoy its different sports clothing outlets, such as Adidas.
In the evening. After dinner, we invite you to go up to the threshing floor of La Casa de Los Moyas, our private star observatory. Contemplating the night sky from here, without light pollution, surrounded by silence and nature, is quite a spectacle. And it is that Olba is located within one of the few Starlight reserves in Spain and is a Starlight tourist destination for being an ideal place to contemplate starry skies.
DAY 2- EXCURSIONS AND BARBECUE
In the morning. We head to Puertomingalvo, another of the most beautiful towns in Spain. Along the way you can stop at other worthwhile villages, such as Valdelinares (the highest village in Spain, which opens its ski slopes in winter), Linares de Mora and Mosqueruela.
In the afternoon. You can follow the botanical trail, which starts from the door of our rural house and ends in the town after crossing a wooden bridge over the Mijares River. Undoubtedly one of the special corners of this valley.
In the evening. Nothing better than a barbecue on our outdoor terrace, which occupies what used to be a large wine bucket. Of course, with lamb from Aragon and artisan sausages from the area.
DAY 3- RECONNECT WITH NATURE
In the morning. Take a forest bath with Teresa, a certified guide in this practice originally from Japan that is committed to reconnecting with nature through conscious walks through the forest. It is an experience that calms the mind, balances blood pressure and enhances memory and creativity. An excellent antidote against stress!
If you prefer to go on your own, you can choose to go up to the threshing floor to do some unguided yoga or meditation surrounded by nature or simply take a walk around the house to the river enjoying the tranquility, the sounds and scents of nature.
In the afternoon. Why not end the day observing the birds that live around our rural house? Look at the colors of their plumage, the arrangement on the body, their song... Observing them is a pleasant and relaxing experience that makes us anchor ourselves in the present. The mind, absorbed in this show, calms down completely and these minutes of concentration on the dance of the birds provide a great feeling of serenity and well-being.
