Tourism in Teruel

A city of legends thanks to the famous story of the lovers of Teruel, it retains charming corners like the central Plaza del Torico, the aqueduct of the arches and the popular Paseo del Oval. On the outskirts, references to a more modern Teruel appear, as here are the Congress Centre and Dinopolis, a theme park about dinosaurs. Albarracín, a town declared a National Monument, Moor de Roubles and other places nearby make the best complement to a visit to the capital of the province of Teruel..
It was precisely the Islamic influence that left in Teruel and Aragon the most important Mudejar monumental site in Spain, in a style that fused Gothic with Muslim architectural elements.To get to know Teruel's Mudejar heritage you have to go to the Cathedral, built in the 12th century on the site of an earlier church and whose outstanding feature is its square tower with ceramic decoration. Inside the cathedral precinct, the feature that attracts most attention is its richly decorated Mudejar coffered ceiling, one of the most important still preserved in the country.
In the streets where in earlier times the city walls stood, new surprises for the visitor appear, like the aqueduct of the arches a 16th-century building which crosses the ravine that cuts the city in two, or the picturesque Neomudejar Paseo del Óvalo. On leaving the historic part, references to the more modern Teruel appear. In the new part, it is worth going to the Fueros de Aragón Park, without forgetting to visit the modern Congress Centre and Dinopolis, a theme park about dinosaurs.
Teruel's cuisine has its main source of inspiration in the pig, from which come sausages and excellent hams produced by the Jamón de Teruel Denomination of Origin.
