What to see and do in Herbers

Herbers
Village
Herbers is a small municipality in the comarca of Els Ports, in the province of Castellón, located on the border with Teruel, at 672 metres of altitude. It was part of the territory of Morella, which granted it a charter of settlement in 1233, and after centuries of lordship and comings and goings of municipal independence —it achieved it in 1691, merged again with Morella in 1926 and regained it in the 1970s—, it now has 68 inhabitants. It preserves the castle of Herbés, from the 14th century and Gothic in style, and the hermitage of the Virgin of Sargar, from the 13th. Its territory also contains the Botador waterfall, formed by the Ermita del Sargar ravine, and els ullals de Pitarch, pools to which tradition attributes medicinal properties.
