Main plaza. |
Even though our trip to Morella was technically in the autonomous community (the Spanish equivalent of a US state) of Valencia, we combined that trip with some trips to nearby villages in the autonomous community of Aragon. The landscape in the area is beautiful with rugged hills, impressive canyons, and dotted with horses, cows, and sheep. There are a few villages in the area that are well preserved and deserve a good walk and drink if one is in the area.
The first village we visited was La Iglesuela del Cid. It had an excellent restaurant (Casa Amada) where we enjoyed solomillo (sirloin steak), conejo (rabbit), and chuletas de cordero with a 7 EUR bottle of red wine. After the meal we strolled the town visiting the classic rural village spots such as the plaza, fuente (water fountain) and village outskirts. There was some really cool stonework throughout and we ran into a literal horse in the middle of the village, I mean, it was just that kinda of village!
This horse just chilling was a notable sight. | |
That is a hell of a hand crafted stone wall. |
