NATURE Five different walks through the most beautiful forests of Madrid
GETAWAY A route through the most beautiful Jewish quarters in Spain to discover this autumn
In the Sierra de Gúdar, next to the Javalambre and Valdelinares ski resorts, is
Valdelinares
, the highest town on the Iberian Peninsula, in a tough fight with
Vilaflor de Chasna
, (Tenerife) for the title of "highest in Spain ". The Tenerife town reaches 2,484 meters above the level of evil, but its population center is concentrated in the urban area, located at 1,414 meters, while the
87 inhabitants
registered in Valdelinares usually live at
1,690 meters
, with the church door at 1,962 meters.
Located 70 kilometers from Teruel, during the Middle Ages and practically the entire Old Regime was
land of royalty
, belonging to the community of villages of Teruel in the Sesma of Campo de Monteagudo until the provincial division of 1833. The town rises on a hillside
crowned by its cemetery
, surrounded by extensive pastures, with a lush pine forest that defines the colorful landscape. The presence of a small mass of
Moorish pine
(
Pinus uncinata
) gives the area a first-rate curiosity: it is
the southernmost area of Europe
where it can be found and they are so characteristic of the surroundings of the municipality that they determine the origin of its name and its coat of arms, which is made up of five green pine trees in reference to its Latin name:
Val de Lignare
(Valley between pine forests)
.
Its famous
ski resort
is one of its great attractions.
In addition, for the convenience of the visitor, it is located just seven kilometers from an urban area that stands out for the excellent conservation of
the rural-traditional environment
, both aesthetically and in terms of work.
In fact, the primary sector is still the main economic activity, with
67% of the employed population
and 48% of the total economic production, collected by the livestock, agriculture and forestry subsectors.
The weight of agricultural activity has allowed the town to have
extensive non-urbanizable rustic land
that allows it to maintain the exercise of these economic activities while protecting its environmental and landscape values. The productive area of the municipality accounts for more than three-quarters of the total, divided between farmland, meadows and pastures, forest land and other lands.
This resource boosts at the same time the
tourist activity
, which emerges strongly to make the service sector the second most important not only in total production, where it reaches 34%, but also in employed population, where it accounts for 26% of the Neighbors' work, a figure that is expected to grow exponentially due to the increase in sports and activities focused on the
enjoyment of the rural environment
that are being developed in the area.
