Who they are

Noverint S.L. is a family company in Morella dedicated to cultural tourism and archaeology. The team includes Ramiro Pérez Milián, an archaeologist, who is the manager and directs the technical side and fieldwork; Rebeca Pérez Milián, an official guide with long experience in heritage interpretation, who coordinates the tourism area and often guides; and Elena Oliva Alfonso, who handles administration, communication and customer service. It holds the SICTED tourism quality mark, promoted in Morella by the town council, and is signed up to the CreaTurisme programme of Turisme Comunitat Valenciana. It takes part in local events such as the truffle gastronomic days and the literary days.

As well as tours, it does professional archaeological work: excavations in urban and rural land, monitoring of public and private works, heritage impact reports and proposals for museum displays for town councils, museums, developers and cultural organisations.

The scheduled Morella tour

The weekend tour leaves on Saturdays and Sundays at 12:00 from the tourist office, next to the Sant Miquel gate, and lasts about two hours. It covers the town hall, the old Jewish quarter, the arcaded street, the Torre dels Estudis, from which the castle is explained, and the basilica of Santa María, with entry included. According to the tourist office it costs €16 for adults and €12 for ages 6 to 12.

Groups and schools

For groups it has several options. The panoramic tour, from one hour to an hour and a half, goes through the medieval streets, the town hall, the basilica and the viewpoint of the Torre del Consell, and suits groups with little time or who cannot climb to the castle. The tour of the historic and artistic complex, of about two and a half hours, starts at the Sant Miquel gate, from the 14th century, passes through the Jewish quarter, the arcaded street and the basilica and climbs the castle as far as the second enclosure; from there you can continue to the Governor's Palace or climb the 98 steps to the Plaza de Armas. These two are given in Spanish, English and French. There are also night tours of the lit-up walls and Jewish quarter, with stories and legends, and school visits for nursery, primary, ESO and bachillerato.

Outside Morella and rock art

In Morella la Vella it guides visits to the shelters with Levantine rock paintings, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with scenes of hunting, dancing and fighting from more than 7,000 years ago, such as the so-called archers' dance. They are free but you must sign up at the tourist office; in summer there are departures from Tuesday to Sunday and in winter only at weekends and on public holidays. Bring comfortable shoes and, in summer, water and a hat.

Outside the town it designs half-day or full-day routes through Els Ports (Forcall, Cinctorres, Olocau del Rey, Todolella and the sanctuaries of Vallibana, la Balma and la Font), the Alt Maestrat (Vilafranca, Ares and the Valltorta, Culla, Sant Mateu, Traiguera, Catí) and the Teruel Maestrazgo (Mirambel, Cantavieja and Iglesuela del Cid).
