Albarracín

Albarracín stands at 1,182 meters elevation within the Sierra de Albarracín mountain range, surrounded by red sandstone formations and the Guadalaviar River.

The Berber dynasty of Banu Razin established this settlement as their capital in the eleventh century until the Almoravids captured it in 1104.

The town preserves medieval architecture with narrow streets, defensive walls, a cathedral, and the Convento of Discalced Carmelites from different historical periods.

Rock climbing enthusiasts find numerous opportunities around Albarracín, with multiple routes set among the red sandstone boulders and cliffs.

This municipality covers 452 square kilometers and maintains its status as capital of the Sierra de Albarracín Comarca within the Teruel Province.
