We left Morella behind and headed south and astonishlingly went higher, there are some astounding roads in this area alas they ran out all too quickly and it was flat and straight towards Castellon where we picked up a motorway towards Valencia. I was so glad that I had planned in a detour through a national park, off the motorway to Onda then follow the CV-232 and CV-200 to Segorbe.
DRIVE THE CV-200!

This stretch of single track mountain road rocks! We encountere just one other vehicle on the mountain section, a cyclist going the other way (-: I had a lot of fun on the hairpin bends, too much fun driving to stop for many photos though.
After all that fun arriving in Valencia was a huge culture shock. From single track roads and the deserted streets of Morella to huge 8 lane monster avenues packed with hot blooded Spanish drivers. Noise! Sounds! Smells! It's a city allright. To add to the fun the hotel was right in the center and they are digging up the roads. With instructions out the window it took us over an hour stuck in the evening traffic to get to the hotel.
*Sigh*
We didn't really feel like going out at this point but forced ourselves to experince the city first-hand. Not a great meal out but ok.
