Cantavieja, Medieval mountain municipality in Maestrazgo, Spain
Cantavieja is a mountain settlement in the Maestrazgo region of Teruel Province, built with stone structures at approximately 1,290 meters in elevation. The terrain is rugged and mountainous throughout the area.
The settlement was founded in 1197 and received recognition as a historic town center in 1981. Its architecture reflects influences spanning several centuries of development.
The settlement hosts the Feria de Mayo each May, a local festival featuring traditional performances and regional food that brings the community together.
The settlement sits on elevated terrain and can be explored on foot, with marked trails and cycling routes available for visitors. These paths connect to neighboring towns throughout the region.
