Albarracin is certainly a wow factor town and well worth the visit. A most unusual attribute is its location at the end of a box canyon, encircled by a river. An ideal place for keeping marauders at bay. Once a Morrocan stronghold called Taifa, the current name certainly has a Moorish flavour.

This town is also a magnet for walkers, climbers and off road cyclists
