They're both very cool - and off the beaten path. There are cave paintings accessible around Albarracín. Morella is an all-around lovely experience with a castle on top of the hill.

Thanks so much for these tips, Daonnachd! I copied and saved them. I know visits there can't happen this trip, but certainly during future ones, assuming we will relocate to Southern France in a year or so.
I love paella, too. I've made Paella Valenciana a few times (without the garlic) and it turned out well. I would also enjoy ones with seafood. I don't make them because my husband won't eat clams, mussels, squid, or octopus. Mussels and calamari seem to be popular here in Barcelona. I've seen them on various menus. Maybe I will order one tomorrow.
