Albarracín Aventura is based on the A-1512 road, km 38, in Torres de Albarracín, about 10 minutes' drive from Albarracín towards the sierra. It opened in March 2015 and sets up treetop circuits with zip lines, archery and paintball: an afternoon for children and teenagers to burn off energy after so much stone and so much sightseeing.

The courses

The website describes more than 1,000 metres of treetop routes, with Tibetan bridges, boarding ropes and climbing walls, and more than 500 metres of zip lines over ravines, including a giant one of 130 metres. There are three courses, each lasting about two and a half hours, with an instructor and a maximum weight of 100 kg:

  • Green, for beginners: from age 6 and 1.15 m in height, low difficulty, 12 challenges.
  • Yellow, the most popular with families and friends: from age 10 and 1.35 m, medium difficulty, 13 challenges.
  • Red, the most complete: from age 12, high difficulty, 20 challenges. The website gives two different minimum heights for it, 1.35 and 1.55 m; confirm it beforehand.

All three include zip lines. For the little ones there are also children's courses from 0.90 m in height. The safety system is a continuous lifeline: each crossing between towers has a cable and each tower has anchor points, so the participant is always clipped on. On some courses the child has to go with an adult who also takes part and pays; ask when you book.

Prices

Each course costs €27 at the ticket office and a little less when bought on the website (the site itself gives €23 and €24 on different pages).

Archery and paintball

Archery is from age 5, lasts an hour and comes with a specialist instructor, with equipment included. Paintball is from age 7 and 1.15 m, lasts up to two and a half hours and is played with children's-model markers, balls, mask and gloves; protective goggles are compulsory. The website does not publish the price of these two activities.

Hours and booking

The hours follow a calendar and the website only shows images for March and April; for the rest, check the day on the booking page or call 676 530 498 before you go. Next to the park is the restaurant La Lonja de las Tirolinas (601 212 510) and there is a cafeteria near the children's course.
