El Andador, visitas guiadas

Who they are

El Andador is a guided tour company in Albarracín founded and run by Cristina Sáez. They have guided in Albarracín and Teruel since 1999, and describe themselves as the first to offer guided tours in both cities. Their guides are official guides and are recognised by their red T-shirt or jacket. Their booking office is in the old town, next to the Plaza Mayor.

What tours they offer

In Albarracín they have four walking tours of the historic centre, leaving from the Plaza Mayor:

• Albarracín Esencial, the shortest version, for €6.
• Albarracín Monumental, 1 h 15 min, covering the architecture, viewpoints and history of the city, for €7.50.
• Albarracín + Casona Plus, which adds entry to the Casona de los Pérez y Toyuela, a 17th- and 18th-century noble house that, according to the company, can only be visited with them, for €9.
• Sunset with legends + casona, at 18:00, which mixes history and legends with the evening light and also goes into the casona, for €12.

In Teruel they do the tour of the Mudéjar and Modernista city, leaving from the Plaza del Torico, for €7.50, and a sunset of heritage and legends at 18:00, from the top of the Escalinata, for €11. Albarracín Town Council also names them for the rock paintings and the Sierra de Albarracín.

What they are like

Groups are small and the tours suitable for all ages; the website mentions age bands for children aged 5 to 10 and under 5, although it does not publish the price for each. Dogs are allowed on a lead, as long as they do not bother the group. The website gives no accessibility information for people with reduced mobility: the old town of Albarracín has slopes and steps, so it is worth asking. They do not publish fixed daytime times, except for the sunsets: the departures appear when you choose a date in their search tool. They work with individuals and also with groups and agencies, which have their own section on the website.
