Natural Surroundings and Special Landscapes

The gorge of the Castell-de-Cabres River runs between Herbés and Castell de Cabres through mountain formations; an old path connects the two places. The route along the gorge includes lush vegetation, abandoned mines and el Molí de la Rambleta. El Bovalar, a flora micro-reserve, is located in the lower part of Castell de Cabres. El Bovalar is also a public woodland area and is considered a suitable area for mushroom picking in autumn. For your planning, you can distinguish between the gorge, mountain formations, vegetation, woodland and abandoned mines. The peaks of Encanadé and Hereu, as well as Muela Peña Blanca mountain, are located in the surroundings of Castell de Cabres. You can classify these three elevation names as separate points alongside the gorge landscape.

Culture and Buildings

Only a few sections of wall remain from the castle of Castell de Cabres. It was probably a simple rock castle with a central tower and a wall. At the Ermita Sant Cristòfol, the walls and a portal with a round arch made of voussoirs are still standing; the roof and the arches have collapsed. The rectangular hermitage dates from the time of the Reconquista and has a small bell gable, in whose opening a bell made in 1767 hung. The parish church in Castell de Cabres has three naves of equal height, a transept, a gallery and a bell tower. You can consider these buildings separately according to their state of preservation, basic form and sacred architecture.
