Camping in Costa del Azahar
Holidays in Costa del Azahar
Where, exactly, is the Costa del Azahar? It’s a good question. And one we’re more than happy to answer. The flower blossom coast (that’s a little Spanish lesson for you!) is a region that the Spanish like to keep to themselves. We don’t blame them. This half-hidden gem promises an intoxicating blend of sun, sea, and culture. Real Spain, lovely beaches and fabulous food await.
The coastline lies in the province of Castellón, encompassing the cultural hot spot of Valencia to the south among a host of enticing seaside towns and villages the more northerly you travel. Towns such as Peniscola, with its iconic castle perched on a rocky headland, offer a journey back in time, while the vibrant Benicàssim is well known for music and cultural festivals.
Nature lovers will be thrilled by the Sierra de Irta Natural Park, offering picturesque trails for hiking and biking, while a more leisurely stroll along the seaside promenades in towns like Vinaros provides the perfect backdrop for evenings sampling the excellent local food and wine..
We think you’ll be very glad you’ve discovered the Costa del Azahar. Just like we were!
