Mediterranean Castellón


 

Castellón Airport offers the chance to discover a destination which boasts a wonderful combination of inland and coastal areas. Its first-class historical heritage and spectacular beaches make Castellón a unique and unforgettable place.

While exploring its coast, visitors will find endless fine sand beaches bathed by the pleasant, crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea, as well as coves to wander surrounded by the wild and captivating nature.

If visitors would like to feel part of nature, Castellón also offers a unique ecosystem, the Columbretes Islands Natural Park and Marine Reserve. It is one of the island landscapes of greatest ecological importance in the Mediterranean.

The contrast of the landscapes in this province is one of the characteristics that most surprises travellers given that, despite being a coastal region, it is the second most mountainous province in Spain. An example of this is the majestic Mount Penyagolosa, with an elevation of more than 1,800 metres.

Visiting Castellón also means discovering its inland towns and villages. Many of them are true medieval treasures, where you will immediately feel at home. Their customs and their way of life have endured over time and today offer us a more authentic vision of life.

 

               

 

A trip is not a trip if you do not soak up the culture and gastronomy of the lands you are visiting. The choice of rice dishes, the freshness of the products in the fish markets, the authenticity of its sausages and sweets and its historical culinary tradition give rise to dishes as tasty as the rossejat rice, the olla de la Plana stew, and the popular tombet.

The authenticity of its fruit and vegetable produce is also one of the defining features of the province of Castellón. The delicacy of its oranges, artichokes, and its olive oil has been awarded with the Designation of Origin.

In addition, the historical legacy of each of its municipalities showcases the richness of its culture, which is unique thanks to its contrasts and diversity. Since its origins, numerous civilizations have settled in its territories and have left their mark, setting the course of its history.

From the Levantine cave paintings, which have been declared World Heritage, to the imposing Christian churches, and considering the presence of Iberians, Greeks, Phoenicians, Romans and Muslims, the result could not be other than a valuable architectural and cultural collection.

After discovering the beauty of its landscapes, its culture, its contrasts, and its people, we have no doubt that Castellón is a one-of-a-kind destination to discover and bask in at leisure. Fly to Castellón Airport and enjoy the Mediterranean first-hand and safely.
