Castellón – Morella Bus

Morella has no train, and the only scheduled bus linking it with the coast is Autos Mediterráneo's. It leaves Castellón bus station Monday to Friday at 10:15 and 15:30. From Vinaròs there is a departure at 16:00 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. On Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays there is no service, so a weekend break without a car is not possible with this bus.

Timetables and tickets

These are the timetables published by Morella's tourist office, which warns in capital letters that it is not responsible for any changes. Before travelling, confirm them with Autos Mediterráneo, which sells the tickets and gives the intermediate stops. The office publishes neither the price nor the journey time, nor the return departures from Morella; ask the company or the tourist office (964 17 30 32 or WhatsApp 661 42 52 94).

Distances by road

To get an idea of the journey, the office gives these distances by car. From Castellón it is about 101 km via the CV-10 and Sant Mateu, and about 102 via the CV-15 and Ares del Maestrat, taking around 1 h 20 to 1 h 25. From Vinaròs it is 60 km along the N-232, about 45 minutes, and from Peñíscola, 75 km, roughly an hour. València is about 170 km away, a little over two hours.

Once in Morella

If you arrive by bus, there is a taxi service in Morella on 661 42 83 65, useful for the return if the timetables don't suit you or for getting to the Morella la Vella paintings, outside the old town. The tourist office is in Plaza de San Miguel, beside the Sant Miquel towers.

How to organise the day

With the 10:15 departure from Castellón you have the rest of the day for the castle, the basilica and the arcaded street. As there is no bus at weekends, the Saturday and Sunday guided tour cannot be combined with it unless you sleep in Morella. For that you have, among others, the Hotel Cardenal Ram and the Hotel Rey Don Jaime, inside the wall.
