The Charles IV Bridge in Olba is a historic structure that crosses the Mijares River. This bridge, built in the 18th century, is known for its stone architecture and its importance in connecting local routes. Originally, it had four arches, but two of them were destroyed during the Civil War. The bridge is a highlight on several hiking trails, such as the one from Olba to Fuente los Pertegaces. This circular route allows you to enjoy the natural beauty of the valley and other points of interest such as the Salud aqueduct.

One of the most notable characteristics of the municipality and that draws the most attention is the dispersion of its population centers. Throughout the valley, groups of houses of various sizes are distributed. The largest is the core of Olba, itself. But we also find the following neighborhoods or villages: Los Lucas, Los Ibáñez Bajos, la Tosca, los Ramones, los Pertegaces, los Villanuevas, los Giles, Casa Bolea, el Casucho, la Artiga, los Ibáñez Altos, la Hoya Ramos, los Tarragones , the Tarrasones, the Moya, the Villagrasas, the Peñablanca, the Barranco del Lobo... among others. The so-called "upper neighborhoods" far from the river and located in the mountains are currently abandoned, with some exceptions. The neighborhoods receive the surnames of the first Christian settlers. Although the name of the neighborhood "Los Ramones" has nothing to do in its origins with the rock band of the same name, the traffic signs with the name of the neighborhood have been the subject of various thefts, presumably as "souvenirs" of the band.

The Arenoso reservoir collects the waters of the Mijares river and creates an impressive landscape between the mountains and rocky slopes in which Puebla de Arenoso and Montanejos are located.

The last 3km of the route, the last descent is mountaineering, impossible to travel with the bike, you have to go down several ravines that with the bike are quite difficult to go down by hand, be careful because it is dangerous, this could have been said by whoever recorded the route. Horrible, it almost made me dark to report the routes well.

We are in the small town of Olba, in the Gúdar-Javalambre region of the province of Teruel and it is certainly worth a visit. We can walk or ride a bike along the side of the river next to the forests that accompany it or visit the town center, the hermitage of San Pedro, the hermitage of San Roque or the Carlos IV bridge.

Located in the province of Castellón, we will be surprised by the impressive views that we will have from the Cruz del Viso Viewpoint to Puebla de Arenoso and the reservoir of the same name. It is part of the route of the Cantón-Viso viewpoints of the EnduroldandMTB center.
