Segorbe
Give Segorbe one night, or stop for a day: its old town, walls and cathedral are compact and walkable.
Segorbe is a small inland town of about 9,000 people in Castellón province. Its compact historic centre brings together medieval walls and towers, a cathedral, small museums and an aqueduct. The town is also associated with olive oil, wine and a September bull run. One night is enough for the main sights; allow longer for nearby countryside.

Etiquette, safety and scams
Etiquette
- Greeting: Two kisses on the cheek (right then left) between friends and when introduced socially; handshake in business; avoid: Being stiff — Spaniards stand close and touch arms
- Meal times: Late lunch and dinner; long sobremesa (chat after eating); avoid: Rushing to leave or asking for the bill with the last bite
- Noise: Join in the lively conversation; avoid: Reading loud voices as anger
- Siesta hours: Keep noise down in residential buildings 15:00–17:00 and after 23:00; avoid: Phone calls to people at lunch time
- Dress: Smart casual in cities; locals rarely wear shorts in Madrid in town; avoid: Swimwear or bare torsos away from the beach
- Regional pride: Ask about local dishes and festivals; avoid: Assuming Catalan or Basque are dialects of Spanish
Scams and watch-outs
- The September bull run draws large crowds; reserve accommodation early or choose different dates.
- The cathedral museum and crypt, and the wall towers, have limited opening windows; confirm current access before planning around them.
- In summer, plan exposed walks for cooler parts of the day.
Segorbe is a quiet, low-crime town and feels safe day and night. The main things to watch are summer heat, uneven old-town streets, and crowding during the September bull run.
