Land of Dinosaurs
More than 128 Millions of years ago the region of Teruel was the mouth of a large tropical river, where lived large dinosaurs, who fed on the vegetation that grew in the swamps.
This is known because of the fossilized dinosaur tracks found in the area (thanks to a tsunami, that fortunately buried them until today).

What to visit in Teruel
Teruel is a nice city to visit with kids, it's the smallest province capital in Spain, with only 36.000 inhabitants, so it's easy to walk around.
Children will enjoy the legend of Teruel Lovers, they can play to see who finds the Torico before (it is a very small statue of a bull on the top of a tall column above the fountain in the main Square), and they will sure be happy to climb the mudéjar bell tower of San Pedro.
