| WHY GO |
| Outside the extremes of winter and summer, the wild, sparsely populated district of Teruel can be mesmerising. In May, the mountains are dotted with gorse and apple blossom and the fields are a sea of poppies. In the autumn, when the oaks and maples change colour, it is more beautiful still. It feels remote, yet Teruel is only a 90-minute drive from Valencia. You can walk for hours without seeing another soul except, perhaps, an abuelita (granny) hunting for rare herbs or truffles. The historic centre of the town of Teruel contains some spectacular gems, notably some of the country's finest Mudéjar architecture, built by Moorish craftsmen under Christian rule and included on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1986. |
