Depart from the port of Castellón de la Plana aboard and enjoy a scenic drive through the Spanish countryside to Sant Mateu, a picturesque town rich in history and charm. On arrival, follow your guide on a walking tour through its medieval heart — explore the beautiful Main Square, and discover elegant stone palaces and arcades that reflect the town’s prosperous past.
Continue your journey inland towards the mountains and the walled city of Morella, one of the most beautiful and best-preserved medieval towns in Spain. Upon arrival, visit a renowned local shop where you’ll enjoy a sweet tasting experience featuring varieties of cheese, charcuterie, honey, handmade chocolate, and quince paste (membrillo) — a true taste of regional craftsmanship.
Afterward, set out on a guided walking tour through Morella’s narrow cobbled streets lined with traditional shops and charming stone houses. Visit the Gothic Church of Saint Mary, the Convent of Saint Francis, and the impressive Town Hall before ascending to the castle, majestically perched atop the hill, offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
A delicious lunch featuring local cuisine will be served at a traditional restaurant in Morella. After lunch relax and take in the countryside views once more as your coach returns you comfortably to the port of Castellón de la Plana.
