Sueras

Municipality of the region of the Plana Baja, in the province of Castellón. It has an area of 22 km2 and is 30 km from Castellón.

The origin of Sueras dates back to the Muslim era. The ruins of its castle (Castell de Mauz), dating from the 12th century, are evidence of the existence of the first settlements and of some farmhouses. After the Christian conquest, the population was grouped in what is now the town.

Sueras is located in one of the last buttresses of the Sierra de Espadán in transit to the flat. The pines and the cork trees, as in almost all the mountain range, populate their mountains.
