Linares de Mora – Local History, Traditions and Trails

Linares de Mora combines local history, traditions and outdoor activity. The town ensemble of Linares de Mora is recognised as a historic-artistic ensemble and as a Bien de Interés Cultural. In the historic town centre, the Iglesia de la Inmaculada and its bell tower are considered notable stops when visiting. The present-day structure of Linares de Mora Castle dates from the 13th century.

Culture

Local traditions include the traditional dance Jota de Santa Ana; its performance by the local jota group and the town band takes place every year on 25 July, the feast day of Saint James. La Rogativa is a pilgrimage held on the second Monday in May, during which the residents of Linares de Mora walk to the Sanctuary of the Virgen de la Vega in Alcalá de la Selva.

For scheduling purposes, an annual fixed feast date and a spring date can be considered side by side; the two occasions differ in that one involves a performance and the other a pilgrimage.

When booking a holiday apartment in Linares de Mora, travel dates, accommodation category and cancellation conditions can be considered as different offer details for planning your own trip. They represent the period, the category selected and the conditions for a possible change to the offer, and thus form three separate decision points.

The trails are also designed differently. The PR-TE 29 is catalogued and inventoried by the Government of Aragon as a Sendero Turístico de Aragón. The PR-TE 29 circular hiking route reaches Linares de Mora and then continues to Pino El Escobón and on to El Molinete. The linear riverside trail from the Ermita del Loreto via Cueva Mona to Fuente del Bartolo is three kilometres long, calculated for the outward and return journey. Before the turn-off to the cave, the riverside trail crosses an old iron bridge. At Fuente del Bartolo there is a small fenced picnic area with tables and chairs.

When comparing different activities, you can initially consider the type of route, course, length and destinations separately. The named points can serve as orientation for the respective route. For your own planning, you can classify waterside hiking, a circular hiking route and a via ferrata side by side as different types of activity.

Another activity is the Cueva Mona via ferrata. It has a K2 difficulty rating, is 87 metres long, comprises four sections and has an elevation gain of 40 metres. It also includes an approximately 15-metre-long Tibetan bridge and the option of abseiling through the cave on a 15-metre-long free-hanging rope. The via ferrata can therefore be described using its difficulty rating, length, sections and elevation gain, unlike the circular route with its destinations or the riverside trail with its course.
