Valderrobres is located in the eastern corner of the province of Teruel/Aragon. Arnes, the next village, 16 kms to
the east belongs to Tarragona/Catalonia. A local Catalonian dialect is spoken in Valderrobres. It's
called «chapurreao» – but spanish (i.e. castellano) is understood and spoken by everyone.
The border to the spanish/castellano-speaking part of Spain starts some 30 kms west
