Castellon
The most remarkable monuments are the cathedral Santa
Maria and the town-hall. Located on the fertile plain
known as La Plana between the mountains and the sea,
the city of Castellón de la Plana lies on the
intersection of the 40th parallel and the 0° meridian.
As capital of one of the most mountainous provinces
in Spain, yet bathed by the Mediterranean along its
112 km of coastline, Castellón is a forward-looking
city in which broad, modern avenues and narrow streets
and plazas from yesteryear combine to form a special
atmosphere. A walk around town is a pleasant experience.
On your stroll, you can find many pleasant surprises:
beautiful modernist buildings, modern shops, shady parks
and important Gothic and Renaissance monuments.
With its deep cultural roots, Castellón de la
Plana celebrates its history with fiestas and annual
events throughout the year. A look towards the sea confirms
the Mediterranean style of Castellón de la Plana.
Its carefully attended beaches lay on both sides of
the port through which a large amount of exports are
shipped each year, accounting for a substantial part
of the provincial economy, based mainly on ceramic tile
manufacturing, agriculture and tourism.
The mild climate of the coastal regions owes much to
the sea and the protéction from cold northwest
winds provided by the mountain spurs of the Desert de
les Palmes. These two factors have a decisive influence
on the city's mean annual temperature of 17°C.,
enabling outdoor activities to be practised throughout
the year.
