Costa del Azahar and Castellon Area

Connie asked about the city of Castellon, Spain on the Costa del Azahar in May. 
The Costa del Azahar, is located way up north of the Costa Blanca and even further north of the city of Valencia. It's a very lovely area with plenty of cultural sights to see and visit.

The city of Castellon itself and such wonderful surrounding cities like Peniscola or Morella (picture) has a combination called Cultural Castellon which includes the theater and museums, but there are more fun activities and excursions to do such as:
  • Peniscola - located just north of Castellon and has a fantastic castle overlooking the beach which belonged the Pope known as " Papa Luna".
  • Torreblanca - also north of Castellon where you can enjoy a relaxing day on the beaches.
  • Vinaros - has the best fresh seafood like prawns and lobsters to be had while sitting at a restaurant right on the beach and accompanying them with red wine.
  • Morella - heading inland to a walled in city surrounded by olive and almond trees. (see picture)
  • Jerica - to see the Arab 'mudejar' architecture tower.

May is a good month because the weather is warm, not hot and above all, there aren't many tourists.
