Anroig: Chapel, Cheesemaking and Scenic Trails

A prominent cultural landmark in Anroig is the Capella de la Mare de Déu del Pilar. It is protected as a Bé de Rellevància Local, meaning a cultural asset of local significance. Anroig is not a single attraction, but a place with several clearly identifiable points of interest. Architecture, artisanal processes and trails stand alongside one another; when planning your own visit, you can give these themes different weight according to your interests without combining them into a fixed route.

Culture

The simple chapel has a bell gable with two brick columns, which support a triangular pediment crowned by a cross. The chapel was built around 1980. Its furnishings include ceramic reredos of the Santíssima Trinitat from the 17th century, as well as reredos of Sant Marc and Sant Vicent i Sant Cristòfol from the 18th century. The architectural form, construction date and named reredos each create their own distinct emphasis within this building.

Local Traditions

A second perspective is offered by cheesemaking. The cheese workshop of Quesería Artesana La Planeta at Mas La Creu in the Barrio de Anroig includes a visit to the sheep and a tasting of four dairy products. The workshop presents traditional cheesemaking in the Maestrat, from raising the sheep and obtaining the milk to storing the milk in milk churns. In addition, Quesería Artesana La Planeta at Mas La Creu in the Barrio de Anroig offers events focused on herding sheep.

Trails and Landscape

Historic paths are also among Anroig’s specific points of interest. The central section of the transhumance route passes through Anroig and crosses the N-232. The route “D’Anroig al Molló dels Cinc Termes, amb un vèrtex de propina” begins in Anroig and follows the old road to Zaragoza towards Morella. Along its course, it crosses the Rambla de Cervera and runs beside the Barranc dels Catinells, passing olive terraces as well as holm oaks and cork oaks. For planning purposes, the paths described can primarily be compared by route, activity and surface. The Gravel Castellón Cycling Tour heads towards Anroig along a section of damaged asphalt and unpaved roads. The same tour passes through wooded areas towards Xert.

When comparing a holiday apartment in Anroig, you can review the offer pages based on your travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions. The local points of interest can be weighed independently of these factors: perhaps the chapel is your initial focus, or perhaps the workshop or one of the routes described; details about route and surface remain separate points of comparison.

Transport History

The old bridge over the Barranc del Molinás in Anroig has a single stone arch with a span of approximately 8 m. The former N-232 route through Anroig was discontinued in 2002 when a bypass was built. Kilometre marker 32 has been preserved along the former course of the N-232 in Anroig.
