Your journey starts in the sunny cities of Valencia or Alicante, or you can tailor your departure in Barcelona, leaving the Mediterranean behind and heading into the mountainous interior. The roads wind through orange and almond groves, passing through tranquil and picturesque landscapes. The day's destination is Morella, a walled town that will transport you back to the Middle Ages. Stroll through its cobbled streets, climb up to its imposing castle and enjoy a traditional dinner with local products, such as the famous Morella lamb and black truffle, emblematic of the region.
The first stage begins in Morella, a medieval jewel surrounded by walls and crowned by an imposing castle. From here, the route enters the Matarranya, known as the āSpanish Tuscanyā. Its landscapes of rolling hills, olive groves and vineyards, dotted with charming villages such as Valderrobres and Calaceite, create a picture-postcard atmosphere. The winding roads are perfect for enjoying the drive while marvelling at the scenery. It ends in Riba-Roja de Ebro, where the reflections of the river give you a unique experience of calm.
From Riba-Roja de Ebro, the roads become mythical terrain for motoring enthusiasts, as they are part of the World Rally Championship. Smooth and challenging curves, surrounded by lush forests and ravines, will lead you to Tarragona. This city, with its rich Roman legacy, welcomes you with its amphitheatre on the shores of the Mediterranean and its lively old town. End the day enjoying a typical Catalan dinner, with dishes such as fish suquet or calƧotada in season.
The day starts in Tarragona, where Roman history bids farewell as you head towards the impressive Ebro Delta, one of the most important wetlands in Europe. Drive along roads surrounded by rice paddies and see flamingos in their natural habitat. Stop to taste the famous seafood and rice dishes that make this region unique. In the afternoon, take the road back to Valencia, crossing mountains with spectacular views, to end the day strolling through the old town or the City of Arts and Sciences while enjoying an unforgettable dinner.
The last day takes you to the Albufera Natural Park, home to lagoons and marshes that offer a serene and lively landscape. From here, Alicante's inland mountain roads provide the perfect backdrop for your final stretch, with gentle curves and views that combine coast and heights. Upon arrival in Alicante, bid farewell to the trip with dinner by the sea, remembering every moment of this unforgettable adventure.
