Welcome to Castellón



The northernmost province of Valencia. Often overshadowed by its neighbour Valencia, Castellón is a hidden gem where mountains literally plunge into the Mediterranean. It’s the perfect destination for a sun-drenched holiday filled with sandy beaches and picturesque mountain villages.

History: From Templars to Tiles



Castellón’s history is a layered tapestry of Iberian, Roman and Moorish influences.

The Reconquista


Much of the region was reconquered from Moorish rule in the 13th century by King James I of Aragon.

The Knights Templar


The iconic castle of Peñíscola was a Templar stronghold and later became the residence of Pope Luna (Benedict XIII) during the Western Schism.

Industrial boom


In modern times, the province became the "tile capital of the world", with its ceramic industry driving the local economy.

Description: A Mediterranean getaway



Imagine a tranquil retreat where you can wake up to a breathtaking sunrise over the "Costa del Azahar" (Orange Blossom Coast). This region offers a vibrant mix of modern coastal cities and charming medieval villages. Whether you're looking for a rejuvenating spa day in Benicàssim or a scenic hike in the wilderness, the relaxed atmosphere here is contagious. It's an idyllic place for a memorable summer holiday.

?? Typical foods: Beyond the paella



The local cuisine is a "Mar i Muntanya" (sea and mountain) delight.

Arroz a banda: A flavorful rice dish cooked in fish broth, served separately from the seafood.

Langostinos de Vinaròs: Famous king prawns known for their size and sweetness.

Flaó de Morella: A traditional pastry filled with cottage cheese and almonds.

Truffles: The interior (especially around Morella) is world-famous for its black winter truffles.

?? Activities and nature



Castellón is the second most mountainous province in Spain and is a playground for outdoor enthusiasts.

Sierra d'Irta


One of the last undeveloped coastal mountain ranges in the Mediterranean. Great for coastal walks.

Coves de Sant Josep


Located in the Vall d'Uixó, you can take a boat trip through Europe's longest navigable underground river.

Cycling


The rugged interior offers professional climbing and relaxing green paths (Vias Verdes) for families.

?? Festivals: Fire and Tradition



Magdalena (Castellón de la Plana): The city's main festival, with the Romeria de les Canyes (a pilgrimage with sugarcane stalks) and incredible fireworks displays.
