Camping Las Corralizas

Having got up to this lofty point, it’s recommended that you stick around for a little while, perhaps even heading up a little higher with walks or climbs in the peaks of the Sierra de Albarracín or seeking out trails to take you to rivers, waterfalls, viewpoints and castles up on rocky cliffs. But what goes up must, of course, come down – and it's around half an hour’s drive down to the teeny town of Albarracín, a colourful place of pink houses, tiled roofs and a fancy gilded cathedral. There’s an old Moorish castle in town too, and it’s worth making the hike up to the Torre del Andador for some stunning views across the town and its surrounds. There’s more splendid Moorish style over in Teruel (50 minutes’ drive), in the shape of the UNESCO-listed El Salvador tower, the cathedral and the fancy La Escalinata steps (actually a 20th-century pastiche, but an excellent one…). If the niños aren’t too enthralled by all the gorgeous architecture, send them way, way back in time at the Dinópolis prehistory park just outside town.
