About this place
Castelló de la Plana (also Castellón) is a calm seaside city on Spain's Costa del Azahar, with about 171,000 residents. Often overlooked between Valencia and Barcelona, it rewards visitors with an authentic historic centre, a relaxed port area called Grau, and surrounding orange orchards that perfume the landscape.
The city hugs the Mediterranean and sits beneath the Desert de les Palmes mountain range, which rises just inland. Its compact, flat layout makes walking and cycling particularly pleasant ways to explore.
