Albarracín
Albarracín is a small walled town in the province of Teruel, Aragon, eastern Spain, on a rock above the Guadalaviar river. In the 11th century it was the seat of the Banu Razin taifa, and from 1170 it was an independent Christian lordship of the Azagra family until Peter III of Aragon conquered it in 1284. Its medieval walls and houses make it one of Spain's best-preserved historic towns.
