Griegos
Village
Griegos is a municipality in the province of Teruel, in the comarca of the Sierra de Albarracín, with 154 inhabitants, one of the highest in Spain: at 1,601 m above sea level, at the foot of the Muela de San Juan, it is the second-highest village in the country, behind only Valdelinares. It has been named the coldest village in all of Spain, with an average annual temperature of barely 7.5 °C, long, very cold winters that can drop below -15 °C, and short, cool summers in which 30 °C is rarely exceeded. In 1257, by privilege of James I, it became part of the Comunidad de Santa María de Albarracín. It is surrounded by Scots pine forests, high-mountain meadows, karst landforms and numerous fresh-water springs.
