Before you go: Teruel tips

Transportation

Explore on foot: Teruel's historic centre is small, so you can walk between the Mudéjar towers, Plaza del Torico and the cathedral.
Use the Escalinata: The grand Neo-Mudéjar staircase links the railway station with the old town, saving a roundabout walk.
Plan bus or car connections: Teruel has limited train service, so buses or a rental car are often more practical for Valencia and Zaragoza.

Security

Enjoy a safe small city: Teruel is very safe; normal care with bags during festivals is all you need.
Drive carefully in winter: Mountain roads around Teruel can have ice and snow; check conditions before setting out.
Mind festival crowds: During the Vaquilla del Ángel fiesta, streets get packed; keep an eye on belongings and children.

Saving

Order tapas with drinks: Bars around Plaza del Torico serve generous tapas, a cheap way to eat.
Choose the menú del día: Weekday set lunches offer several courses at a fair price.
Admire Mudéjar towers for free: The UNESCO-listed towers of San Martín and El Salvador can be admired from the street at no cost.

Weather/Clothing

Pack warm for winter: Teruel sits high on a plateau and gets very cold winters; bring a heavy coat and gloves.
Expect warm, dry summers: Summer days are hot but nights are cooler; bring a light layer.
Bring sun protection: The altitude makes the sun strong; wear sunglasses and sunscreen.

Cultural

Learn the Lovers' legend: The tragic tale of the Lovers of Teruel is central to local identity; visit the Mausoleo de los Amantes.
Taste jamón de Teruel: Teruel ham has its own protected designation; try it in local bars.
Join the Bodas de Isabel: In February, the city re-enacts the Lovers' legend in a medieval festival.

Local Hacks

Visit Dinópolis: This dinosaur theme park and museum on the edge of town is great for families.
Climb the Torre del Salvador: You can go inside this Mudéjar tower for views over the city.
Day trip to Albarracín: This medieval village is one of Spain's most beautiful and is a short drive away.
