Where to stay in Albarracín

Inside the old town. This is the choice if you want to step out of your accommodation straight into the narrow streets, the Cathedral of El Salvador and the 14th-century walls. Bear in mind that the village is built on a slope: there are hills and steps, and it is not always possible to drive up to the door. Check on each listing whether there is parking nearby.

Around the old town. A good fit if you are travelling by car and prefer to park without fuss. From here you can walk up to the centre in a few minutes, depending on the location. Check the map on each listing for the real distance.

For nature. Part of the municipality lies within the Pinares de Rodeno Protected Landscape, which has Levantine and schematic rock paintings. The Montes Universales are to the south. If you come to walk in the mountains, staying in Albarracín keeps you close to both areas.

Getting there and around

Albarracín is about 37 km by road from Teruel, the nearest city with a railway station. The usual route is along the N-234 and then the A-1512. Arriving by car is the practical option, and it also lets you explore the mountains. Inside the village, everything is done on foot.

When to go

The old town is more than 1,100 m above sea level, so winters are cold and it is worth bringing a coat in spring and autumn too. If you go in high season or on long weekends, book early: the village has little more than a thousand inhabitants and limited accommodation.
