Linares de Mora
Member of Los Pueblos más Bonitos de España
Set on a rocky outcrop in the Sierra de Gúdar, Linares de Mora still follows the plan of a walled late-medieval town: four stepped, parallel streets of whitewashed houses with red tile roofs, folded into an L. The ruins of a 13th-century castle crown the rock, and below them rises a Baroque church with a free-standing bell tower. The village is also known for its hams.
