Costa del Azahar

Castellon lies on the Mediterranean coast and is the most northern of the provinces that form the Community of Valencia. The Costa del Azahar is an area of great contrasts, as any traveller who heads there in search of something more than the typical tourist attactions will soon find out. Some of these contrasts are a direct result of the typical geographic phenomena.

Although the capital of the province is known as Castellon de la Plana , the province as a whole is more mountainous than flat. In addition, as opposed to the coastline, which takes the form of an endless carpet of creenery with orange plantations interwined, the inland landscape is of a more rugged and wild nature.

There are areas steeped in history and full of fine monuments, as well as extraordinarily beautiful sites which, luckily, have not been spoilt by the hand of man and which are the same today as they were many hundreds of years ago.
