Not far from the Old Town is Belchite Nuevo, a replica of the original town. Here you can immerse yourself in the culture and gastronomy of Belchite while appreciating the preserved architectural elements, such as the Church of San Martín de Tours and the Clock Tower.

In the past, Belchite Viejo was one of the most prosperous towns in the province of Zaragoza during the early 20th century. Its walls, adorned with Mudejar architecture, housed numerous homes, two convents and several churches. However, its destiny took a dark turn during the Spanish Civil War. Belchite Viejo is known as a “ghost town” due to its terrifying past. It was heavily bombed during the Civil War and was left in ruins as a testimony to the horrors of the conflict. Unlike many other war-torn places, Belchite Viejo was intentionally preserved to serve as a reminder of the devastating consequences of war. Visitors can see the remains of buildings, streets and squares that were once full of life.

The La Torica aqueduct was built in the 19th century as a work linked to the new railway route. In fact, it gets its name from the nickname of the locomotive that pulled the train.

Close to the town of Alcañíz we find what is called the Desierto de Calanda, to the south of the aforementioned town. Between these two towns there is this set of fields and barren spaces where it has a resemblance to a desert, without high vegetation and almost infinite horizons.

Andorra, a town in the province of Teruel and capital of the region of Andorra-Sierra de Arcos is located between the valleys of the rivers Martín and Guadalope, next to the small river Regallo where we can visit the Ermita de la Virgen del Pilar or the Church of the Natividad, the park of San Macario or the Castillete del Pozo de San Juan.
