Description
The Red Canyon of Teruel, popularly known as the Aragonese Colorado Canyon. An incredible place very close to the city of Teruel.
Teruel is located just 1.5 hours of driving away from Valencia. We will start the tour with a short visit to the old town and a coffee at the main square - Plaza del Torico. The city of Teruel preserves an important medieval legacy in its historic centre. The cathedral tower, along with those of San Salvador, San Martín and San Pedro are the jewels of a group of Mudejar monuments declared a World Heritage Site.
After the city visit we will drive for 5 minutes to get to the start of the hike. The Red Canyon of Teruelis an incredible place very close to the city of Teruel and very little known, as you are unlikely to find anyone else on those trails. The circular hike is quite easy and goes through the ravine before taking you up to the top of the canyon for the return. You will also find some civil war vestiges along the rim of the canyon. The most spectacular views will await you towards the end of the route, when you go back down and get to see these vertical walls up close.
