Morella Tourist Office

It is open Monday to Saturday from 10:00 to 14:00 and 16:00 to 19:00, and on Sundays from 10:00 to 14:00, on 964 17 30 32 and by WhatsApp on 661 42 52 94. This is where you book the free visits to the Morella la Vella paintings, and the weekend guided tour leaves from here.

What you can do at the office

Besides information on Morella, the Els Ports district and the rest of the province, the office sells tickets, including the combined ticket for the town's monuments and museums; ask what it includes before climbing the castle or going to the dinosaur museum. It also signs people up for activities and events, registers lost property and sells souvenirs. You can pay in cash or by card.

There are lesser-known services worth knowing about. If you are cycling, they lend tools for repairs free of charge and give out the key to the bicycle-washing point. For people with reduced mobility they rent scooters, very useful in a town of slopes like this. The office has the Accessible Tourism mark from Predif and Turisme Comunitat Valenciana, admits pets and has held the Q for tourism quality since 2008.

Maps to take away

They have, and you can download from the website, the general Morella leaflet, the dinosaur map, the Els Ports paths map, the prison map, the castle map, an accessible plan and a children's plan. If you go with kids, ask for the latter together with the dinosaur one.

The guided tour

The guided tour of the historic centre leaves on Saturdays and Sundays at 12:00 from Plaza de San Miguel, in front of the office, and lasts about two hours. It includes the walk through the town, the explanation of the castle from its viewpoint and admission to the basilica of Santa María. It costs €16 for adults and €12 for children aged 6 to 12. It is organised by the company Noverint, which takes the bookings (964 160 793 or 613 507 301); the tourist website is for information only. Wear comfortable shoes. More detail in the entry for the guided tour of Morella.

Closing days

The office is closed on 25 and 26 December and on 1, 6 and 7 January. 7 January is a local holiday and monuments and museums close too that day, so don't choose it for your visit.

Before and after

If you arrive by car, leave the vehicle in the Paseo Jaume I car park, outside the wall. Without a car, check the timetables of the bus from Castellón, which does not run at weekends.
