Discover two of the most beautiful towns in Spain, Morella and Peñíscola, on this full-day excursion.
On this tour, you will get to know the beauty, history, and heritage of two charming towns in the Valencian Community: one in the mountains and the other by the sea.
The journey begins in Morella, the walled city renowned for its excellent preservation, which transports travelers back to the medieval era. A true historical gem where you’ll learn all the details thanks to our local guide. You’ll explore its characteristic cobbled streets, visit the historic castle that crowns the town, and delve into this 12th-century Islamic fortress. Here, you’ll learn why it became so important to the Crown of Aragon and discover its connection to El Cid.
You’ll also have free time to wander through the town, explore at your own pace, and admire the local artisan stalls.
Afterward, we’ll head to Peñíscola, a town of unparalleled beauty, often chosen as a filming location for numerous movies and series, including Game of Thrones. You’ll discover the castle perched atop a rocky promontory by the sea. This fortress served as a palace and personal library for the famous Pope Luna, one of the most controversial religious figures in Spanish history. You’ll explore Peñíscola’s old town, a historic relic filled with examples of Muslim, Roman, and Templar architecture, where you can see points of interest such as the House of the Shells, the Bufador, and the city walls that once protected the town.
