General presentation
Castellón et Maestrat
More discreet Valencian province, between coastline, fortified villages, inland mountains and Maestrat heritage.
To understand what Castellón and Maestrat are, you have to look at Castellón de la Plana, Vilafamés and Morella. These places give us the opportunity to see a territory marked by the coastline, mountain reliefs, heritage and the countryside and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: sites very dispersed and heat in summer. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Castellón de la Plana
Castellón de la Plana combines a Mediterranean urban centre, lively squares and direct access to the Grau, its maritime district. Between the cocathedral, the Fadrí and the shopping avenues, the city keeps a convenient look, then changes tone near the port and beaches.
Place
Vilafamés
Vilafamés seduced by its perched village identity: narrow streets, progressive views and materials that become more expressive according to the direction of the sun. It quickly understands the logic of a compact historical space, reinforced by short breaks on walks.
Place
Culla
Culla puts forward a clear territorial structure, where village and landscape respond without decor. By observing the daily life of the squares and the secondary axes, one perceives the traffic logic which gives a real flavor to the crossing of the Maestrat.
