Ares del Maestrat

As a result of migration to the cities in the 1960s and 1970s, Ares del Maestre is sparsely populated today, yet remains a popular tourist destination. Sites of interest include the gothic town hall, neoclassical parish church, and the remains of the Mola castle.
The Tossal d'Orenga mountain,[2] popular among paragliders, is located within the Ares del Maestre municipal term.
