Ordered leg totals agree within rounding. Stop distances are approximate sums of rounded legs. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
322 km from Teruel to Teruel, about 5 h 15 of riding. On the way it passes Abric del Rincón del Tío Escribano, La Peña del Castellar and back through Abric del Rincón del Tío Escribano. The stored terrain estimate reaches about 1,250 m; a measured road-elevation profile is not available. It was put together for the scenery rather than the shortest line.
Teruel is a small provincial capital high on the Aragonese plateau, and its skyline is made of Mudéjar towers, built by Muslim craftsmen working for Christian patrons in brick and glazed ceramic tiles. The tower of San Martín, dating to the early fourteenth century, is one of the finest, a square tower straddling a street, so that traffic passes through an arch at its base. With the other Mudéjar towers of the city and the cathedral, it forms part of the World Heritage listing of Mudéjar Architecture of Aragon.

High in the interior of Valencia province, where the coastal orange groves give way to limestone plateaus and pine forest, the village of Titaguas sits on the road towards the Rincón de Ademuz. Close by lies the Abric del Rincón del Tío Escribano, a rock shelter with prehistoric paintings, one of the hundreds of sites that make up the Rock Art of the Mediterranean Basin on the Iberian Peninsula, listed by UNESCO in 1998.

Villar del Humo is a tiny village in the Serranía of Cuenca, the high, forested mountain country east of the city of Cuenca. Around it, sandstone outcrops rise from pine forests, and on their faces prehistoric painters left images of animals and people. The Peña del Escrito and La Peña del Castellar are among the most important shelters here, and they are part of the World Heritage Site of Rock Art of the Mediterranean Basin. The paintings include deer, horses and human figures, some in the dynamic Levantine style and others more schematic.
