WHERE TO GO?

I may sound odd, but I believe that Spain has a huge variety of places,besides of the touristy and overcrowded sites that nobody knows.
The more I travel, the clearer it seems to me that the truth of a place is in the tiny details of everyday life not in its most glorius statues or scenery. I love the simpler things. I have allways tryed to avoid escorted tours. I am the kind of traveller that I like somewhere off the beaten track.
Last August, I went on a four-day city break to the region of Teruel, in a very picturesque town called Calaceite and also Vallderobres and Beceite.
I wasn't sure what to expect from an ancient town where the locals live in the same houses as their ancestors did many years ago, but as soon as I arrived I felt like I was in a medieval time. I wandered around the beautiful ancient walled city trying to imagine what life must have been like in those days.The magic of the place was the fact that I was the only foreigner person there, even in the main tourist season.It may be the reason why the local people was so pleasant to me.
My accomodation was once a cave dwelling for a family and their livestock. The owner had rebuilding the site preserving the original stones and distribution with very comfortable taste style.
The region of Beceite is as astounding as any other mountains in the Pyrenees.You have plenty of routes to do for hiking around. There, you can go to "Los Puertos" with two rivers: Ulldemó and Matarraña, where you can take a bath in deep pools. It is a beautiflul and tranquil countryside to be.
This area has a huge natural interest, not only in the spectacular of the mountains, but for the ecological, animal and greenforest value.
I really enjoy Teruel and I could happily re-visit for another short stay to see more of it.
