カステジョテのおすすめツーリングルート

Morella Castle rises atop the "Mola" rock, dominating the landscape with its walls and towers that tell centuries of history. It was occupied by Iberians, Romans, Muslims, and Christians, and its walls commemorate battles of El Cid, the War of Spanish Succession, and the Carlist Wars. The tour takes in the main square, the Governor's Palace, ancient cisterns, and the keep, with spectacular views over a sea of mountains and the reddish roofs of the town. Access is from the Convent of San Francisco, and it's worth taking your time, as the steep ramps and stairs require an effort that is well rewarded by the panoramic views.

Population of the Els Ports region, in the province of Castellón (Valencian Community). Its name probably comes from the gallows shape made by the Bergantes, Cantavieja and Caldés rivers. Its origin can be located in an Ibero-Romanesque population center discovered in 1876, and which the locals knew as "La Moleta dels Frares or Liborio". For the researchers it was an important Roman villa, and a good part of its wall is still standing in the entrance area of the town. Its cultural heritage includes the Virgen de la Consolación hermitage, the 18th-century parish church, built from the primitive 13th-century Gothic church, the aforementioned Moleta dels Frares, the Plaza Mayor and the 16th-century Osset-Miró palace. .

The first time we see the town of Villarluengo, it will leave us speechless due to its location, as it is located on top of a rocky hill next to a deep ravine. If we go through Villarluengo it is worth visiting the Balcony of the Forasteros, the Town Hall building, the parish church or the Hermitages of San Bartolomé and San Cristóbal. If we feel like enjoying nature, we can visit the natural monument of Los Órganos de Montoro or the port of Cuarto Pelado.
