Morella
POP 2800 / ELEV 1000M
Bitingly cold in winter and refreshingly cool in summer, Morella is a medieval fort-
ress town perched on a hilltop, crowned by a castle and girdled by an intact rampart
wall over 2km long.
Sights & Activities
Morella is a pleasantly confusing, compact jumble of narrow streets, alleys and
steep steps. Its main street, running from Puerta San Miguel to Puerta de los Estu-
dios, is bordered by shops selling mountain honey, perfumes, cheeses, pickles and
pâtés, sausages and hams.
