2026 Morella Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in February)

#summervacay Castillo de Morella is like straight-up medieval movie vibes. The whole town is built on a hill, and then, this epic castle just dominates the top like it owns the place (because it basically did back in the day). You can see it from miles away, and it only gets cooler the closer you get. The walk up is a bit of a trek, lots of stone steps and winding paths, but the views? Totally worth the leg burn. You get panoramic shots of the countryside, rooftops, and endless sky. Inside the castle, it’s all crumbling towers, ancient walls, and that "whoa, this is really old" feeling. There’s not a ton of signage, but honestly, just wandering around and imagining knights and battles is part of the fun. The town of Morella itself is super charming too, stone houses, cute shops, and ridiculously good cheese. If you’re into history, castles, or just pretending you’re in Game of Thrones, this place is a must.

A trip to the Mediterranean coast of Spain ~ Castellón (Region) The monastery has a typical layout of all Franciscan monasteries. The three most important spaces are the cloister, the church and the chapel. The cloister is in the form of a ground floor arcade, rectangular in shape, with trefoil arches on each side. The church has a nave with side chapels. It originally had a hipped wooden roof supported by arches. The polygonal apse has a cross-vaulted ceiling. The chapel has a square plan and is one of the only surviving Gothic frescoes from 1400-1425 in the Valencia region, depicting the Dance of Death. #2月好去地方2025 #西班牙旅行 #瓦尔伦西亚

Spanish Mediterranean Coast Tour ~ Castellón (Region) The history of the city walls actually dates back to the 14th century. The most important parts of the walls were built on top of the old Arab walls during the reign of Pedro el Ceremonioso, although these walls changed again in the following centuries. The walls were built to protect the entire town, not just the castle. The wall architect, Aparisi Joan, began construction in 1330. Sant Mateu, del Sol in the Castle Arms Courtyard, de Fredes, del Forcall, del Carraixet, la Pólvora, del Rei, Estudis, San Francesc and Celoquia towers are no longer standing. Of these, only the San Miquel Tower, where the Paleontology Museum is located, is open to visitors. #2月好去地方2025 #西班牙旅行 #Valencia

Spanish Mediterranean Coast Tour ~ Castellón (Region) The first thing that catches your eye is the castle and the medieval city walls, which were built in the 14th century. The Old Town has notable churches such as the Gothic Church of Santa María Archpriest (1263-1330) with Baroque details; the Old Monastery of San Francisco (13th century); the Church of San Juan (15th century), Gothic with neoclassical decorations; and the Church of San Nicolás, also Gothic; as well as the monasteries of San Marcos and San Pedro Martir. In terms of civil architecture, it is worth mentioning the Casa de la Villa (14th and 17th centuries), the houses of Ciurana, Piquer, Rovira and Cardenall Ram, and the Old Hospital (15th century). Strolling through the stepped streets and arcades of Blasco de Aragon, looping the hill along the Alameda and admiring the medieval aqueduct of Santa Lucia are important ways to get to know the city. The city of Morella has two standout attractions: the cave paintings of Morella La Vella and the shrine of La Virgen de Vallivana. Every six years since 1673, the Virgin Mary is carried in procession through the city. There are many chapels along the road where pilgrims pray and offer prayers during the 22 km walk. #February2025 #SpainTravel #Valencia
