My tip“Entry to the castle is only by a guided tour booked at the town museum; you can roam the walls freely. The town is one of Spain’s most beautiful villages.”
The town takes its name from the Banu Razin, Berbers who ruled it as an independent taifa kingdom in the 11th century. Their castle stands on a rock above the Guadalaviar river, and walls climbing the mountain surround the town.
Moderate effort, needs a car
By car to Albarracín. The castle is a short, steep climb from the town, and the walls are reached by very steep, tiring stairs. Guided tours are booked at the museum. Services in town.
