About this tour
Spend 11 hours exploring two striking Spanish villages in a single day. Start in hilltop Morella, where stone lanes wind past a 13th-century castle and austere convento, then descend to Peñíscola on the coast, a fortified peninsula with Byzantine charm and Templar history. A guide leads you through both old towns, lunch is provided, and all entrance tickets are covered. Transport is by air-conditioned coach.

What to expect
You'll be collected early and driven to Morella first, where a local guide takes you through cramped medieval alleyways and up to the castle ramparts—the climb is steep but manageable. After exploring the convent and basilica interiors, you'll break for lunch (timing and venue arranged by the operator). The drive to coastal Peñíscola takes about an hour. There you'll walk the compact old town clinging to its rocky promontory, hearing about its Cathar and Knight Templar past. Expect cobblestones, some uneven surfaces, and moderate walking. The pace allows time to absorb each place without feeling rushed.
Good to know
Book with a valid phone number for WhatsApp pickup confirmation. The tour requires at least six participants; if numbers fall short, you can reschedule or get a refund. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water. A moderate fitness level helps, especially on Morella's slopes.
