We think that Teruel a terrific destination. It’s a small city with a population of about 35,000 people but it has many treasures, a fascinating history, beautiful vistas, great food, and friendly people.
There are ancient archways and towers around every corner.
The Cathedral de Teruel is stunning,
we were fascinated by the ornate statues inside. We were the only visitors there when we arrived and had quiet visit there.
We’re staying in an apartment near Plaza Del Torico, the main square in town. Torico means “Little Bull” and there is a statue of a miniscule bull on top of a pillar in the middle of the plaza. He’s very popular with locals and tourists too – people were very upset a few months ago when Torico fell off of his perch – he’s been returned to his rightful place in the city.
We found two excellent tapas bars – the flavors are unique, delicious and the cost very inexpensive.
We’ve been busy here and these are just a few of the highlights. Teruel is a lesser known place in Spain that is absolutely worth a visit!
We have reconfigured our itinerary again. Tomorrow we’re heading back to Valencia for 2 nights and then on to Madrid for a 5 night stay.
