About Matarraña

Belmonte de San José is one of the few beautiful places in the inland Mediterranean without tourists. Here you can still enjoy fabulous landscapes without queuing up: in peace and solitude. The village, with only 90 residents, is part of the so-called "empty Spain" due to its location in an unpopulated rural area, making it an ideal destination for those who appreciate nature and tranquility.

Olive and almond trees, pine trees, fig trees, walnut trees, oak trees, foxes, roe deer, squirrels, birds of prey, and wild boar populate the valley surrounding the village. The scenery is reminiscent of the Mallorcan landscape, yet it is secluded, with the beaches of Castellón (and its inhabitants) located an hour and a half's drive away from our town. But near it we have wonderful rivers and natural pools, where you can bathe quietly and in the middle of nature.

In the neighboring region of Matarraña, you will find very nice towns (Calaceite, Cretas, Valderrobres...) to visit with a lively and very interesting cultural background.

Zaragoza is an hour and a half away from the village, and you can reach Barcelona in 3 hours and a half. In the neighboring Alcañiz, a small town 25 minutes away from Belmonte, you will find public transportation.

Other Spaces Available for Our Guests:

La Ermita de San José

The old hermit's house has 2 rooms where you can work alone or in a group and spectacular 360º views of the 3 valleys that surround it.

The forest of the Ermita de San José is a magnificent place with tables and stone benches, where you can meet to eat, read, play, and talk among pine trees and landscapes.
