Morella and Peñíscola Day Trip from Valencia

The excursion begins in the morning in Valencia and heads towards Morella, a spectacular walled town situated on top of a hill. After a journey of around two hours, you’ll arrive at a historic centre with cobbled streets, steep slopes and buildings that retain much of their medieval appearance.

Accompanied by an accredited local guide, you’ll discover some of its main monuments. You’ll visit Morella Castle, situated at the highest point of the town, and learn about the strategic importance the town held throughout history. The tour also includes other notable sites such as the Convent of San Francisco and the Basilica of Santa María la Mayor.

You’ll then have some free time to stroll through the streets of Morella before enjoying a traditional Morellan meal, which is included. If you have any allergies, food intolerances or follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, please let us know when booking so that we can take this into account.

The day continues in Peñíscola, a coastal town dominated by its castle and surrounded by the Mediterranean. During the guided tour of the old town, you’ll learn about the history of Pope Luna and stroll through streets steeped in medieval and Templar heritage, with stops outside landmarks such as the Casa de las Conchas and the Bufador.

After completing the visit to Peñíscola, you’ll head back to Valencia in the afternoon. This excursion combines heritage, scenery, cuisine and two very different atmospheres in a single day.
