Morella and Vilafamés Day Trip
Discover two of the most beautiful villages in the Valencian Community on this full-day excursion to Morella and Vilafamés. From the dramatic hilltop fortress of Morella, crowned by its medieval castle, to the atmospheric streets of Vilafamés with its striking red-stone architecture and world-class art museum, this trip combines history, culture, and timeless charm.
We leave Valencia in the morning and enjoy a scenic drive through the mountains of Castellón province before arriving in Morella, a spectacular walled town that seems frozen in time. After an orientation walk to help you get your bearings, you’ll have time to explore at your own pace. Wander cobbled streets lined with artisan shops, taste traditional products such as cheese and cured meats, or step inside the imposing castle and fascinating museums. For those who wish, there’s also the option to join a guided walking tour of Morella (Spanish only, available at an extra cost).
In the afternoon, we continue to Vilafamés, a picture-perfect hilltop village renowned for its warm reddish tones and tranquil charm. After a short orientation walk, you’ll have free time to discover its medieval streets, ruined castle and pretty squares. The highlight of our visit is the MACVAC (Museum of Contemporary Art), housed in a 15th-century palace and featuring an impressive collection of Spanish and international works that contrast beautifully with the historic setting.
After an inspiring day of history, art, and discovery, we return to Valencia by early evening.
