Xert (Valencian pronunciation: [ˈtʃɛɾt], Spanish: Chert) is a municipality in the comarca of Baix Maestrat in the Valencian Community, Spain.
The mountains known as Moles de Xert rise above the town and are included in its administrative area.
On the hill known as Mola Murada there are remains of an ancient Iberian village of the Bronze Age. During the time of the Umayyad conquest of Hispania Xert was a Saracene town depending from Cervera. After 1233 it was taken over by the Knights Hospitaller, then in 1319 the Order of Montesa took over until the 19th century saw the end of manorialism. In 1836 there were pitched battles between Carlists and Liberals in the mountain areas near Xert.
In the past Xert had its own lligallo in order to organize cattle herding in its area. The village of La Barcella was abandoned in 1609 and Fontanals during the time of the Spanish Maquis in mid 20th century.

XERT (branded as Voz 1170) is a Spanish-language AM radio station that serves the McAllen, Texas (USA) / Reynosa, Tamaulipas (Mexico) border area. XERT is a daytime only station because 1170 AM is a United States clear-channel frequency.
XERT's original concession dates to July 7, 1943. It was owned by Ignacio Magallón Valdivia and broadcast on 590 kHz before moving to 1170.
The maiden sitting by her pool
Was first to hear my pleas
As she looked into the water
She recited these words to me:
Walk not down that road
I can not tell you where it goes
Ask me no more questions
Some things you weren't meant to know
The mother toiling in the fields
Her apron full of seeds
As she dropped them to the earth
She recited these words to me:
Walk not down that road
I can not tell you where it goes
Ask me no more questions
Some things you weren't meant to know
The greater mysteries
Cannot be shown
Divided by three
The are the maiden, the mother, the crone
Finally I found the crone
Walking through the trees
She looked in my eyes
As she recited these words to me:
Go before the maiden
Get down on your knees
Should you win her favor
She may tell you what she sees
The harvest is reaped
Seeds are shown
Multiplied by three
