Car hire in Teruel
2 offices in Teruel · Spain
Teruel boasts UNESCO-listed Mudéjar architecture, the legend of the Lovers of Teruel, and the curious distinction of being one of the few Spanish provincial capitals without a direct high-speed rail link. All around it unfolds an extraordinary province: the red-stone villages of the Maestrazgo, Albarracín — ranked among the ten prettiest towns in the country — and the ski slopes of the Sierra de Gúdar.
The slogan "Teruel exists" was born precisely out of the region's poor transport links, which makes a car the traveller's essential tool here. With pick-up in the city or beside the station, a hire car opens up a land of empty roads where every stone village rewards the detour.
