Location

The Cervera Mountains rise north of the Cervera del Maestrat town, south of Traiguera and east of La Jana. They are located in the transitional zone between the Mediterranean and the continental climate. In the winter the weather is colder than in the coastal mountain ranges and the summits are often covered in snow for a few days after each snowstorm.^[1]

The Our Lady of health shrine (Reial Santuari de Nostra Senyora de la Font de la Salut) which was first built in the 14th century is located on the eastern side of these mountains.^[2] The mountains are mostly covered with Mediterranean Maquis shrubland. There are some patches of pine forest.^[3]
