Morella

Morella's great festival, the Sexenni, comes round once every six years: nine days of processions and guild dances in late August giving thanks for the end of a 17th-century plague. The town covers a hill at almost 1,000 metres below its castle, still enclosed by 2.5 km of medieval walls that can only be entered through the gates. Ramón Cabrera's Carlists once made it their headquarters.
