Alcaniz

Alcañiz in the Teruel region is synonymous with culture, architecture and tradition. In other words, this destination has it all.

Alcañiz is the second most populated town in the province of Teruel, and boasts a rich historical and cultural heritage worthy of admiration. Take advantage of our offers for holidays in Alcañiz to discover every nook and cranny of this destination in Bajo Aragón.

The best way to begin your visit is in the square Plaza de España, where you’ll find three of the most important monuments of Alcañiz. One of the most spectacular is the ex-collegiate church of Santa María la Mayor, a beautiful Baroque temple that was collegiate until 1851. There is also La Lonja, a Gothic building from the 15th century. Lastly, in this important square, you can also visit the Town Hall, an Aragonese Renaissance-style building declared a Site of Historical-Artistic Interest in 1931.

Book one of our cheap trips to Alcañiz and visit another of the most spectacular buildings in the town: the Castillo de la Orden de Calatrava. This Romanesque and Gothic castle located on El Cerro del Pui Pinos hill has been reformed on several occasions to convert part of it into a national Parador hotel.

If there’s anything this town is known for, however, it’s the Easter Holy Week celebrations, declared a Festival of International Tourist Interest. This festivity and the town as a whole are part of the famous Ruta del Tambor y del Bombo del Bajo Aragón (the Drum and Bass Drum Route) so if you get the chance, book one of our package deals to Alcañiz and come enjoy the sound, colour and flavour of this important week.

Finally, if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the town, what could be better than a leisurely stroll along the bank of the river that runs through this city, River Guadalupe. As well as getting away from it all, you can enjoy interesting sights such as the beautiful Fuente de los 72 Caños (the fountain of the 72 pipes) or the old flour mill dating back to the 13th century.

This town has a lot to offer, so choose one of our trips to Alcañiz and make sure you get to explore the old town and its medieval neighbourhoods dating back to the 14th century, which still preserve the traditional grid structure of the streets.
