Matarraña, Medieval comarca in Teruel Province, Spain.

The territory of Matarraña stretches across valleys and hills, featuring stone villages, olive groves, and the Gothic castle of Valderrobres overlooking the region.

The region received its official population charter in 1183, marking the beginning of organized settlements after the Christian reconquest of the area from Moorish control.

The traditions of Matarraña reflect both Aragonese and Catalan influences, evident in the local language, architecture, and gastronomy featuring olive oil and almond-based products.

Visitors can access numerous hiking trails connecting the villages, with Valderrobres serving as the main transportation and accommodation hub for exploring the comarca.

The medieval bridge of Valderrobres crosses the Matarraña River, leading to houses suspended over the water and providing direct access to the castle complex.
