Albarracin
4 things to see
Perched on a ridge above a river gorge, Albarracin’s pink sandstone walls and medieval towers make it one of Spain’s most photogenic villages. The whole old town is free to wander, and the walk up to the hilltop walls for the view over the gorge costs nothing. The handful of guesthouses keeps things simple and affordable, and the lack of a nearby train station filters out mass tourism entirely. It pairs naturally with Teruel and Cuenca for a quiet inland-Spain loop, and spring or autumn dodge the summer heat of this part of Aragon.
