Teruel, Aragon
Teruel has been declared a World Heritage Site for its historical and architectural significance. Here, there are beautiful buildings to be discovered, such as the cathedral of Santa María de Mediavilla, the Mudejar tower of El Salvador, or the Paseo del Óvalo staircase with its engraving of the Lovers of Teruel, one of the city’s famous legends that can easily rival Romeo and Juliet. If you want to enjoy the local atmosphere and cuisine, you absolutely must head for the Plaza del Torico, which owes its name to the fountain in the middle topped by a small metal bull (toro). This is the very heart of the city, and the perfect place for trying local specialities like gazpacho with sollapas (flatbread), caldereta de pastor (lamb stew), and madejas (lamb guts).
