Where everything is nearby
At Castelló everything is nearby. In our hometown, the aroma of oranges still permeates the streets. The orchards are never far away. The city, capital of the Plana Alta shire, maintains the calm, friendly character of a working environment.
In the centre, the cultural and commercial life – completely Mediterranean – is typical of a cheerful and animated city. The historic old town centre, that preserves some of the form of a Roman encampment, is where the most important monuments and museums are located. Next to the sea is the Grau district, where fishing and marine activity is concentrated, as well as our magnificent beaches.
Castelló has an innate desire to keep up with the times and welcome its visitors. This is the essence of what our town offers, as well as a wide variety of attractions: the sea, the orchards, monuments, culture, mountains and the fiestas.
Our city is an example for quality of life. The visitor will enjoy the pleasant Mediterranean climate, the rich and varied cuisine based on high quality local produce, excellent beaches and a natural park just a few kilometres from the coast (the Desierto de Las Palmas). All of this without the overcrowding that can obstruct the enjoyment of your holidays.
