Enjoy our suggestions for traveling through Matarranya by motorhome or camper van.

We suggest you rent a motorhome and spend some unforgettable days, whether alone, with family, or with friends. Do you like the idea?

Think about it, it might be just what you need. For a few days, you can go wherever you fancy, mountains or charming towns, as you’ll be carrying your home with you. You won’t have to worry about accommodation; you just need to choose your destination.

We propose a trip through the Matarranya region in Teruel, a small region whose great beauty has earned it the nickname ‘Spanish Tuscany’.

Beceite

Beceite, a very small but charming village, which you will enjoy exploring its narrow streets.

Natural sites you cannot miss

• La Font de la Rabosa, a beautiful natural pool with a waterfall, is located in the municipality of Beceite itself, created by the waters of the Matarraña River.
• El Parrizal is a regulated route, as an access ticket is required for vehicles, hikers, and cyclists. The ticket can be purchased at the Beceite tourist office; for more information, click here. It is a wonderful place for an easy walking route, following the course of the river to its source, passing over a wooden walkway, where we finally reach Los Estrechos, a marvelous spot formed by vertical stone walls.
• Les Pesqueres, an idyllic place formed by various pools (tolls). It should be noted that motorhome access is regulated on different dates, so it is necessary to inquire beforehand. However, you can access it by leaving your vehicle in the designated areas and walking or cycling from the town. If we walk a section of the route, we can see some of the fantastic viewpoints that have been created in the Racó de Sant Antoni. Their purpose is to allow visitors to admire the landscape and learn more about the Ulldemó River, its fauna, and flora, thanks to the informative panels located there.

• El Salt de la Portellada is the waterfall of the Tastavins River, a tributary of the Matarraña River, one of the most beautiful places in the area, where the Tastavins River forms a twenty-meter waterfall.
