Some pre-quarantine travels to Albarracín and Teruel

We did some travel over Christmas--Pittsburgh, New York City, Karlsruhe, Germany. And after Christmas, before the corona virus hit, we went pretty far southeast, to Albarracín and Teruel, where there was still a lot of snow.

Albarracín is famous for its Moorish wall and fortress.

Teruel's aqueduct dates from the 1500s.

We also went hiking through a nearby park that was famous for its rock paintings, which are 5,000 to 7,000 years old. Actually, these pictures give you a better idea of the rock paintings than the ones we were able to get.

We enjoyed the hike in spite of the snow and cold.

The rock paintings are protected, hard to get close to.

Lots of rocks to choose from for a rock painter.
