🇪🇸 Teruel | The Most Underrated Gem of Spain (Part 2) 💎✨

💔 The Lovers of Teruel Spain's most famous love story isn't just a legend—it's real! In the 16th century, two mummified bodies (a young man and woman, both around 20 years old) were discovered in San Pedro Church, exactly where the tale described. Scientific testing confirmed they died naturally in the 13th century. Their perfectly preserved remains still rest in their sarcophagus today—you can even glimpse them through the glass! ⛪ San Pedro Church Beyond the lovers' tomb, this church is a Mudejar masterpiece (Spain’s only fully Mudejar-style church!). The 19th-century renovated interior features a dreamy blue dome that'll leave you spellbound. 🏰 Albarracín: Spain’s Prettiest Village Just 30 mins away, this hilltop wonder boasts: • A fortress-crowned summit with epic walls • Cobbled lanes perfect for post-lunch exploring (that roast pork knuckle won’t burn itself off! 🐖) • Views rivalling Segovia (but with 1/10th the crowds!) 🎉 Festivals Galore • February: The lovers’ story reenacted in Plaza del Torico • July: The whole city parties in white outfits + red scarves—think Pamplona’s energy, but cozier! 💡 Pro Tips 1️⃣ Museo Provincial: Free entry!
