My wife and I love visiting beautiful mountain villages, and Albarracín is hands down our favorite. First visit a number of years ago was a day visit and our second was a two-night stay just this past weekend. Highly recommend a leisurely stay as there is nothing better than an early morning stroll or sunset walk-around when the angle of the sun does its magic for your enjoyment, whether just looking in awe or photography is your thing. Simply amazing views to be had at every turn of an alley way. Also some excellent restaurants (we loved the tapas at La Taba) and for breakfast, Cafe Casino, the vistas of the town and hundreds of swifts zooming by the windows. For early evening drinks, recommend the atmospheric El Molino del Gato down a few steps by the bridge at the entrance into town, next to the tourist office. Many great hikes to be enjoyed within 30~45 mins in the Sierra de Albarracín. Incredible scenery in our drive-around the region through the tunnel under the town and on A-1502 & A-1703.

Agree totally. Visited the area in my second year in Spain and it is definitely spectacular! I really like all of Aragon. Lots to see but unfortunately people tend to go to Spain and flock to the big cities which in my opinion are overrated. The real Spain is in its smaller lesser known area which are full of history and beautiful nature. First year I visited Ronda and was blown away.... In the north of Bugos you get places like orbaneja del castillo and puentedey..very small but unbelievable places. Beautiful hidden gems all over Spain.

I went twice and the second time I brought 2 friends. They were mind blown. Teruel City is worth a stroll . Came once from Valencia via Teruel and once from Barcelona . The Pinares around the town are so worth a walk from town. Don´t miss the "pinturas rupestres" . An unforgettable place.I call it "el ombligo del mundo" (belly button of the world).

Seems like a really great choice. Enjoy beauty where ever you find it!

So many beautiful towns and villages in Spain. Many of them are little gems tucked away far from the maddening crowd. The trouble is if they become too remote and don't get visitors they depopulate and that spells doom. We don't like tourists but we need tourism. Lovely video. WT

When I get Home sick I come to your channel (I am from Granada Spain)
My City was the last strong hold when the moors were thrown out of the Country.

I am from Morocco, my hometown is a village called Benirzin, when I searched for the origin of this name, I found that the Muslims who fled from this village in the video during the era of the Inquisition courts migrated to northern Morocco and established my village that I know today, which prompted me to have a kind of nostalgia to come here, I would also like to mention that they are very similar in terms of the nature of the place, a beautiful coincidence, greetings from Morocco

I agree, Albarracin es el pueblo mas bonito de Espana. We have seen most of Spain and still have not had the chance to see it. It's been on our list for years!

Hey! Have you ever been into Extremadura? If not, you should give a go. Cáceres, Plasencia and the landscape of Dehesas are jaw dropping

This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!

Arquitecture is aragonese mudejar, is not from the time of muslim rule, is from the time when Albarracín was reconquer. There is no one single house in this village from the muslim time.

I wouldn't call Albarracín the most beautiful village of all but if readers of El País voted thus, so be it. That sort of thing is very subjective. Teruel itself is very interesting. I, like you, was in both places about 15 years ago. I remember Albarracín well since where we parked our car there was a cat trapped under the motor of the car next to us. I left a note in Spanish on the windscreen, "Hay un gato preso debajo de su motor". I wonder if the people got it out or even if it got free before they got to their car. In that case, what would they have thought about my note? I still worry about that even today.
The region between Teruel and Morella, the Maestrazgo, is also very interesting. My favorite village name is Cantavieja, which is worth the visit. Looking forward to your vist to Albarracín and watch out for cats that love to climb under motors to escape the heat.

El nombre es árabe pero las construcciones son aragonesas, muy parecidas en todo Aragón .
