Albarracin, Spain

[SteveAdler]

Albarracin is a very small village hidden in the mountains of Teruel. Built by moslems 800 years ago, surrounded by walls, it was so poor for so long it remained in a pristine state up until the 1980's and is today Spain's most romantic village. It has a high altitude and the weather was cooler, the air fresh and clear.

Striking shots. Love the one of the gentleman smoking the pipe - tells a story about the town itself - exudes personality!

Nice series. Nice lighting. Love the shot of the man and the pipe. We were in southern Spain last year for a milestone anniversary and fell in love with the country, the food and the people. Is this town reachable by train or bus, or only by car?

Hi Ken, its really a small town that is only accessible by car. But there are lots of lovely towns in Spain that are accessible by train and bus - though, thanks to COVID I haven't explored them much yet.
