Detailed itinerary

1

The old town of Morella is a journey through time, where cobblestone streets are like the pages of an ancient book. Stone houses huddle together, guarding centuries of stories and secrets. Its centuries-old walls embrace the past, and from the castle's heights, the views are a canvas where history meets nature. At every corner, the medieval essence endures, and charming squares are havens of authenticity. Here, time stands still, and the magic of history unfolds in every nook and cranny.

2

An impressive 13th-century monument in the city of Morella, Castellón, dominates the hill with its medieval architecture. It is a prominent example of medieval military architecture in Spain and a symbol of the historical and cultural wealth of the region. With its sturdy walls, watchtowers, and ramparts, it offers spectacular panoramic views of Morella and the surrounding area.

3

It is an ancient and significant Franciscan monastery known for its Gothic architecture and historical and religious importance in the region.

4

It is a building constructed between the 13th and 16th centuries in Valencian Gothic and Renaissance styles. According to the historian Marqués de Lozoya, it is "the most beautiful Gothic church in the Valencian region."

5

Peñíscola, like a living historical painting, unfolds on a rocky peninsula facing the Mediterranean. Its cobbled streets resemble fairy tale pathways, lined with white houses adorned with blue doors and windows, bridging the past and the present. The majestic Templar castle, perched atop the hill, crowns this scene with its imposing presence, while welcoming squares invite you to savor the essence of Mediterranean life. It's a place where history comes to life, and every alley conceals secrets waiting to be uncovered.
