Xert
Xert has served as an agricultural settlement in the Maestrat region of the Valencian Community since the Middle Ages. Known in Castilian as Chert, it occupies a hilly inland setting in the comarca of Baix Maestrat, in northern Castellón province. Its compact streets and parish church rise above small holdings shaped by terraces, olive trees and dry-stone walls, a building tradition long associated with rural eastern Spain. Valencian and Castilian names reflect the area’s bilingual culture. Farming still defines the local character, while the low Maestrat hills mark the meeting point of cultivated plots and Mediterranean woodland. Xert presents the quieter interior of the Maestrat, well away from Spain’s better-known coast.

Xert occupies an inland setting in the hills of the Baix Maestrat comarca, beneath the Serra de Turmell in Castellón province. Also known by its Spanish name, Chert, the town belongs to the Valencian Community’s dry-farmed interior, where olive and almond groves, low stone walls and scrub-covered slopes shape the countryside. Its compact centre is anchored by the parish church of the Assumption, while rural lanes lead into a terrain long worked through terracing and traditional dry-stone construction. Xert makes a useful stop for discovering the quieter, agricultural side of the Maestrat, away from Spain’s Mediterranean coast.

The Valencian Community has served as a Mediterranean cultural crossroads within eastern Spain since the Middle Ages. Its coastline on the Balearic Sea extends from the Costa del Azahar to the Costa Blanca, while the Turia and Júcar rivers cross fertile plains inland. Valencia, the regional capital, was the centre of the medieval Kingdom of Valencia, founded in 1238, and preserves the Silk Exchange, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Rice cultivation around the Albufera lagoon informs local cooking, including paella, while the annual Fallas festivities fill Valencia with sculpture, fire and civic ritual.

Spain extends from the Cantabrian coast to the Canary Islands, encompassing Atlantic shores, Mediterranean beaches and the broad interior Meseta. The Pyrenees form its northeastern frontier, while the Guadalquivir crosses Andalusia on its way to the Atlantic. Madrid anchors the country’s political and cultural life, but distinct regional identities are central to Spain’s character: Catalonia, the Basque Country, Galicia and Andalusia each have their own languages or strong local traditions. Granada’s Alhambra is a major monument of the medieval Nasrid dynasty, and Santiago de Compostela remains the destination of the Camino de Santiago.
