About Albarracín

Albarracín is listed among Spain's prettiest villages, with its walls, castle and narrow lanes rising over the Guadalaviar river. The Sierra de Albarracín's pine forests and rock art shelters fill the surrounding hills, and Teruel's Mudéjar towers are a short drive away. May to October suits walking and photography; summer is warm, and winter brings snow to the sierra and a near-empty village.
