Teruel Province, Province in Aragon, Spain
Teruel Province covers large parts of the Sistema Ibérico in southern Aragon, bordering the provinces of Zaragoza, Guadalajara, Cuenca, Valencia and Castellón. The terrain consists mainly of plateaus and mountain ranges with deep river valleys carved by the Turia, Guadalaviar and other waterways.
The expansion of the Kingdom of Aragon southward during the 12th century led to the foundation of fortified settlements along the frontier with Moorish territory. The administrative unit emerged in the 19th century during the territorial reorganization of Spain following the liberal reforms.
The economy relies on farming and livestock, with pig breeding and truffle cultivation playing an important role in rural areas. Villages celebrate annual festivals with music and regional dishes, often held in the main squares.
Visitors exploring the area should expect longer drives between towns, as roads wind through mountains and valleys. Winter travelers should bring warm clothing, as snow and low temperatures are common at higher elevations.
Fossil discoveries in the rock layers along rivers reveal lifeforms from different geological epochs, attracting scientists from around the world. Some areas are designated as protected sites to preserve the paleontological findings.
