Regulated Car Parks in Albarracín

The five car parks

Albarracín's old town is a maze of steep, narrow streets with steps inside the wall, and is not designed for cars. To ease congestion, the town council has set up five regulated car parks around the town. You can choose according to what you are going to do or where you are staying:

• San Antonio, the big one, with 401 spaces.
• Calle San Antonio, with 38 spaces.
• Calle Puentes, with 30 spaces.
• Parque Municipal, with 40 spaces.
• Calle Los Palacios, with 30 spaces.

In total they add up to about 540 spaces.

How much it costs and how to pay

All work with a ticket, which you get from the machines at each car park, and the rate depends on how long you leave the car. It is charged in 15-minute blocks, at €0.25 each:

• 1 hour: €1
• 2 hours: €2
• 3 hours: €3
• From 3 h 46 min up to 24 hours: €4
• Up to 48 hours: €7.50

In practice, from about four hours you already pay the full-day rate. If you are going to sleep over one night, the 48-hour rate covers your arrival and departure.

You can also pay with the EasyPark app, which avoids queuing at the machine and lets you pay remotely.

If you overstay

The fine for parking without a ticket or exceeding the time paid is €60. But it can be cancelled: if the excess does not exceed 360 minutes, you pay €4 at the car park's ticket machine within six hours of the fine notice, and put the cancellation ticket, the notice and your first ticket, if you had one, in the cancellation envelope.

Reduced mobility

To arrive with a person with reduced mobility, the town council offers a personalised assistance service through the Local Police, who give information on special access to the old town. It is requested on the same municipal car park page or at the town council, on 978 700 400.

From the car park

From the car parks you walk up to the old town. To start your visit, go to the Fundación Santa María information centre, beside the cathedral, where the guided visits leave from. From there you can climb the walls and the Andador tower or see Albarracín Castle.

The town council recommends choosing the car park according to the activity you are going to do or the location of your accommodation, and publishes a map with the five points on the same page. For any question, the town council is at Plaza Mayor, 1, and can be reached on 978 700 400 and at [email protected].

If you stay outside the old town, as at the Camping Ciudad de Albarracín, on the Camino de Gea, you can walk in without paying for parking. If you come without a car, look at the bus from Teruel.
