Pinares de Rodeno and rock art

A protected red-sandstone landscape between Albarracín and Bezas: waymarked trails, shelters with World Heritage rock paintings and impossibly shaped rocks. Climbers know it well — it's one of Europe's bouldering meccas.

The source of the Tajo river

The longest river in the Iberian Peninsula is born above 1,500 m, in the municipality of Frías de Albarracín. The 1974 monument marks the spot, with Father Tajo presiding over the Fuente García site. Pairs well with the Sima de Frías on the way.
