Tips from the Community
Easy to overlook, as it is not very large, it is located right next to the main street. A visit is worthwhile, as it was created by Pablo Monguió from 1910-1912 in the modernist style.

This church, referred to here as the "Iglesia Modernista", with the title (patronage) "San SALVADOR" was not dedicated to one of the many people we venerate as blessed or saints and ask for their heavenly intercession with God. Rather, it is dedicated to the incarnate Son of God, Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and Savior.

This lagoon is surrounded by a leafy Rodeno pine, along with junipers, oaks, junipers and other natural elements. Its water level depends on snowmelt and rain, and together with the Bezas lagoon, it is one of the most important wetlands in the Sierra de Albarracín. If you are interested in taking a route, you can follow the Balsa botanical trail that will take you to Rubiales. Additionally, in Rubiales, you can connect with the GR 10, a long-distance trail that connects the Atlantic with the Mediterranean. I hope you enjoy this beautiful area! 😊

The Bezas Lagoon is the largest lagoon in the Albarracín mountain range. It extends through the municipalities of Bezas and Albarracín, within the Protected Landscape of the Pinares de Rodeno. This beautiful lagoon presents lacustrine vegetation conditioned by significant fluctuations in water level. Surrounded by pleasant hills covered with Rodeno pine and juniper trees, Bezas Lagoon is a very charming place located at about 1,235 meters above sea level. If you have the opportunity to visit it, you will fall in love with its natural beauty and picturesque surroundings. 😊
