Teruel is a city in Aragon in Spain.

[edit] Get in

The station is well down below the town and anybody with mobility difficulties might want to consider a taxi. For the fully fit there are multiple flights of steps.

[edit] Get around

[edit][add listing] See

Teruel is the site of some of the most impressive Mudejar architecture in all Spain. Examples are:

• The Cathedral - impressive from outside but rather a mixture of styles

Teruel Cathedral from the museum.

• El Salvador - very decorated Mudejar tower with a plain tower within and a staircase usually open between them.
• San Pedro - site of the Alabaster tomb of 'Los Amantes' (The Lovers of Teruel). Good Mudejar tower and complete coverage of internal bricks with designs.

Also well worth seeing are;

• The aqueduct/viaduct
• The Provincial Museum - once a palace. Ensure that you ask the guide on the top floor to let you out to the arcaded exterior for a terrific view of the Cathedral.
• Dinopolis is a huge paleonthological museum disguised as a amusement park, if you look for amusement you'll be dissapointed, but if you like fossils, don't hesitate to go. It's a little far away, though.

[edit][add listing] Do

There's a tradition to do during the festivities in July, that is throwing meringue to the town hall's door.

[edit][add listing] Buy

Teruel jamon serrano, you can purchase it in some deli shops in the city center. Do not purchase any "typical bakery", it's not true that is made there, and it's industrial-made.

[edit][add listing] Eat

The best places are 'asadores' and 'rokelin' (there are several ones), anything else is fancy expensive food, you'll be hungry after eating in those places.

[edit][add listing] Drink

We don't have a typical drink, but you can find microbrews in some bakeries.

[edit][add listing] Sleep

[edit] Get out

Some pubs in the party zone (called simply "la zona") are trully troll nests, don't go there.
