General Info PEÑISCOLA
The town of Peñíscola, situated in the north of the Community of Valencia, is set in a privileged part of the Spanish Mediterranean. The municipality of Peñíscola covers 79Km 2 , 17 of which run parallel to the coastline, an area which is fairly distributed between woodland areas and warm Mediterranean groves of oranges, olives and almonds. The old city, which is crowned by a XIV century castle-stronghold and was the residence of Pope Benedicto XIII, stands on top of an impressive rocky crag which rises 64 metres above the blue sea. A sandy isthmus joins it to the mainland, which in the past was swept by waves in the midst of storms, turning the city into an ephemeral island. Providing a contrast with the old quarters are the modern streets and wide avenues of the tourist area. Warm waters in summer and autumn are shared between the extensive beaches of fine sand which lie to the north of the fortress, and the beautiful coves flanked by steep cliffs which can be found to the south.

Sierra de Irta >> Nature Reserve: 
La Sierra de Irta is located at the northern end of the Valencia Region, between the municipalities of Alcalà de Xivert, Santa Magdalena de Pulpis and Peñíscola. With typically Mediterranean flora and fauna and scenery made up of steep cliffs which go down to the sea, this nature reserve is one of the most beautiful landscapes in the Valencia Region. The historical absence of important human settlements and the gradual abandonment of centuries-old farming and cattle exploitation, have permitted the presence of natural and ethnological values which turn this scenery into a privileged place on the Mediterranean.
The Columbretes Islands Nature Park:
This is one of the points of major interest along the western Mediterranean coast, specifically the Castellón coastline, due to its unique character and its rich land and sea ecosystems. The Columbretes islands form an archipelago made up of small islands of volcanic origin. The largest of these is called Illa Grossa, and its form evidences an ancient crater. Among the fauna found on the island are Eleanora's falcon, Audouin's gull and a rare species of sea tortoise. Sea life in the water around the islands is equally rich and varied. The park information centre is located in the planetarium of Castellón (tel. 964 28 2968). =============================================================
The Prat de Cabanes-Torreblanca Nature Park:
The Prat de Cabanes-Torreblanca Nature Park is a wetland area of major importance along the northern coastline of the region. One thin line of shingles, pebbles and sandy deposits separates the sea from a marshy area formerly known as the home of ducks (Albalat dels Ànecs). Today it provides shelter for birds such as the collared pratincole and the peregrine falcon. Nearby one can visit various old watchtowers along the coast: Capicorb (Alcalà de Xivert), Torrenostra (Torreblanca) and Torre la Sal (Cabanes). There is a park information centre at the Torre la Sal Experimental Aquiculture Centre in the locality of Ribera de Cabanes (tel. 608 04 8431).
Desert de les Palmes Nature Park:
This coastal range of mountains, rising up from the otherwise flat La Plana district, extends through the municipal areas of Benicàssim, Borriol, Castellón de la Plana, Cabanes, Oropesa and La Pobla Tornesa. The name of the so-called “Desert of the Palm Trees” does not refer to an actual desert, but historically relates to a Carmelite monastery where a spiritual refuge was sought. The area is home to numerous pine trees, cork oaks, shrubs and aromatic plants. Les Agulles de Santa Àgueda is a site richly endowed with reddish cluster pines from which magnificent views can be gained. Other points of interest are the Bartolo peak (729m), the castles of Miravet and Montornés, the Carmelite convent or hermitage of the Les Santes. The Bartola information centre is located in the park (kilometre 7.8 along the Magdalena-Desert road, tel. 964 76 0727).
The Penyagolosa massif
This is a tall and well-preserved mountain spur of the Iberian range in inland Spain. The Penyagolosa peak rises to 1,813m, providing a magnificent panorama over the surrounding province. The sanctuary of Sant Joan de Penyagolosa, an important site for annual pilgrimages, and extensive forests containing wild pine, black pine, faginea-type Lusitanian oak and others, all create rich scenery that visitors can enjoy. Access to the mountain is through the picturesque villages of Villahermosa del Río, Vistabella del Maestrazo and Xodos. This mountain peak is connected to the coast via the Long-Distance Hiking Route GR-33 leading down to Castellón de la Plana.
Els Ports de MORELLA:
stone reigns supreme:
These are highlands crowned by the fortified town of Morella, whose silhouette stands tall on the horizon. In this district, the scenery is a combination of natural treasures (oak trees and shrubbery where truffles are found) and human constructions. Crops growing on terraced slopes, ancient stonewalled herding paths, stone farmhouses, chapels and sanctuaries comprise a landscape viewed from on high by soaring vultures and eagles. There are numerous sanctuaries and chapels: Vallivana (Morella), Sant Cristòfol, Mare de Déu de la Font and Sant Pere (Castellfort), Mare de Déu de la Balma (Zorita del Maestrazgo), Virgen de la Naranja (Olocau del Rey), etc. All of these are worth a visit, as they command panoramic views and have interesting sights to see. Signposted footpaths and hiking routes provide a good way to see this district, containing some of the finest mountain scenery in the northernmost section of the Land of Valencia.
SANT MATEU:
Region: EL BAIX MAESTRAT Population: 1806 Area: Castellón Costa Azahar
VINARÒS:
Population: 25010 Area: Castellón Costa Azahar The Mediterranean and its strategic situation allow the municipality an enviable climate all year round. This circumstance, united with its recognised gastronomic variety, based on the fruits of the sea, make Vinaròs a cosy destination in which to get lost. There is nothing like try it, to make you want to repeat. All this, is joined by the numerous almost virgin or urban beaches and coves, of sand or rock. Besides, a stroll through its old town makes one forget the current twenty-first century and reminisce of past epochs.
N A T U R E Costa del Azahar
Ochre, earthy colours and blues, are colours that define the Mediterranean spirit on Castellón Costa Azahar. Yellows and greens pay homage to an extensive and intense natural landscape, both natural and sophisticated. Whilst the sun, the eternal sun, the eternal king that presides over the mythology of every square inch of ground, that warms up the water of a blue dream, as old as the world. The sea understood as a metaphor of all the seas. Always the same, but always different always Castellón Costa Azahar.
