Teruel and Albarracín
Inside aragon between art mudejar, red village of Albarracín, pines, rocks and roads little frequented.
To understand what Teruel and Albarracín are, you have to look at Teruel, Tours mudéjares de Teruel and Albarracín. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, heritage, natural spaces and the countryside and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be expected: cold winters and very quiet rhythm out of season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
World Heritage
Art rupestre du bassin méditerranéen de la péninsule Ibérique
In several rocky shelters in the Iberian East, human silhouettes, animals and hunting scenes testify to a very narrative prehistoric art. Around Teruel and d'Albarracín, the paintings are often discovered in dry landscapes of cliffs and pines, with sometimes guided accesses to protect the walls.
Place
Teruel
Teruel first discovers itself by its facades and plots, then by the way in which local life modulates space. The interest is there, in the detail of usage rather than in the imposed benchmarks. In the evening, the streets reveal a visual softness very faithful to the character of the city.
Heritage
Mudéjar towers of Teruel
Teruel's mudejar towers combine brick, enamelled ceramic and geometric motifs in the streets of the old centre. San Martín, El Salvador or San Pedro look at each other from as far away as from their foot, where the diamond, blind arches and green reflections appear in detail.
Place
Albarracín
Albarracín offers a scene of light and stone where the slopes, doors and piercings of views form a sensitive narrative. Walking without a hard map, following streets and secondary passages, shows the continuity between site and natural setting. The clear mornings give the best contrast.
