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.
