a surprise at teruel

Our apartment in Albarracin has a kitchen, which we would like to make the most of. Unfortunately, we don't think the town has a very good supermarket. Since we chose this place to be a base to explore other places near it, we decide to drive to Teruel, in the hope of also finding a supermarket.
We have no idea what to expect at Teruel. The signs indicate it's a pretty big town. And it is, compared to the tiny villages we've been staying in. We park the car and set out in search of a supermarket. It isn't long before we find ourselves in a plaza filled with photographs. As any explanation would be in Spanish we don't know what it is all about. They are just blown up photographs, apparently from around the world. And quite significant photos too. There's even one of the Beatles, which is fitting since there is a busker there playing Let it be.

We walked around the town a bit. As usual we managed to hit it right on siesta time. We decided to have lunch at a cafe (very disappointing service unfortunately) and then hit the road. Our search for a supermarket didn't really happen and we ended up finding one at Albarracin which was opening at 5pm, so we stocked up there.

Teruel was a bit of a surprise really. I later read it is one of Spain's best kept secrets. It was quite a pretty town. The same narrow streets winding about, but some beautiful architecture too. Some of the buildings had a very mediterranean look to them.

After dinner in our apartment, I had grand intentions of going for a walk around the village after dinner but this was one night it got dark sooner than I expected.
