Tírig

Tírig, in Castellón, is surrounded by the spectacular landscape of L'Alt Maestrat, which hides some of the oldest treasures of our history. Come and discover the cave paintings of Tírig and let yourself be captivated by its paths and charming streets. Plan your visit!

Tírig, what to see

To begin with, we will walk through the streets of Tírig between streets of low houses, in some of which you can still see the remains of the Castle and Walls of Tírig, integrated into newer buildings. We also encourage you to visit the Parish Church of Nuestra Señora del Pilar, located in a pleasant square.

We continue discovering what to see in Tírig, especially in its surroundings, and our first excursion will reach the old public washing place. Somewhat further away is the Hermitage of Santa Barbara, located on a hill from which you will enjoy great views. The route that will take you there is a little less than 5 km and it is not difficult.

We are now getting ready to visit the Valltorta Museum, a magical place where you can learn about the cave paintings of Tírig, scattered in various locations in the Valltorta ravine. The cave paintings of the Mediterranean arc are a World Heritage Site protected by UNESCO, and with the guided tours of this museum you will be able to admire them in first person. Do not miss the original piece of the Archer of the Valltorta!

The shelters where the paintings are located are in different enclaves: you can choose, for example, between the Cova dels Cavalls, in a visit without difficulty as well as the Cova dels Ribassals or the Cova del Civil. If you are ready for an activity of medium difficulty, we recommend you to choose the Cingle del Mas d'en Josep.

Your getaway to Tírig can be completed with hiking activities in its dry landscape, where you will find ancient dry stone buildings. Come with comfortable shoes and let yourself be embraced by an evocative landscape!
