Molinos

Molinos is a mountain village in the Maestrazgo region of Teruel, situated at approximately 838 meters elevation across hilly terrain. The settlement clusters around the Gothic church Nuestra Señora de las Nieves, which features a single nave with side chapels and a polygonal apse topped with intricate ribbed vaulting.

The settlement formed during the medieval period as part of the Maestrazgo region and took shape around the Gothic church built in the 15th century. This church, Nuestra Señora de las Nieves, marked the place as an important point in the mountain landscape and continues to define it today.

The Gothic church stands at the heart of village life with its decorated doorways and ribbed vaulting that catches the eye. The structure reflects how the community has organized itself around this building for centuries, making it central to daily rhythms.

The village connects by regional roads to the provincial capital and has guesthouses like Hostal De La Villa and Casa Rural Benito for overnight stays. Most visitors find the warmer months most comfortable for travel, when mountain roads are easier to navigate and local services are more active.

Beneath the Sierra de Caballos mountains lies the Gruta de Cristal cave system with natural mineral formations and underground chambers. This hidden world often goes unnoticed by visitors, even though it extends directly below the village territory.
