Albarracín, tower of the Albarracín Cathedral and Northern walls (with Torre del Andador on top)

Albarracín is a town of about 1,000 people (2018) in the province of Teruel in Aragon. Albarracín is surrounded by stony hills and the town was declared a Monumento Nacional in 1961. The many red sandstone boulders and cliffs surrounding Albarracín make it a popular rock climbing location, particularly for boulderers.

The town is located in a meander of the Guadalaviar River. The Sierra de Albarracín mountain range rises to the South and West of the town.
