Description

At the scheduled time, we will pick you up from your chosen meeting point in central Valencia and head north towards Morella. The journey will take just over two hours alongside the coastline. Morella is a medieval town known for its walled structure.

You will walk through steep cobblestone streets and stop at local craft stalls. The visit concludes at the historic castle that overlooks the town.
