Albarracin

Albarracín occupies a rocky bend above the Guadalaviar River in the Sierra de Albarracín, western Aragon. Its closely clustered houses, many coated in the town’s characteristic reddish plaster, rise toward the former castle and defensive walls that trace the ridge. The historic centre recalls a strategic past: Albarracín was the seat of an independent taifa in the 11th century before becoming a Christian lordship. The 16th-century Cathedral of El Salvador brings a Renaissance note to streets shaped by medieval terrain. Beyond the town, pine-covered mountains and high country define a sparsely settled corner of inland Spain.
