Albarracín
Teruel
Despite being named by locals as 2018’s “most beautiful town in
Spain”, Albarracín remains relatively untouched by tourism.
Teetering on a rocky promontory carved out by the winding
Guadalaviar River, this medieval settlement is blanketed in history
– the Museo de Albarracín, set inside the town’s former hospital,
makes a great starting point for curious travellers. Alternatively,
head to the nearby pine forests of Rodeno, in which hiking trails
afford vistas of across Albarracín’s gypsum-tinted buildings.
