Oropesa del mar started life as a picturesque fishing village on the
east coast of Spain approximately 80 kilometers north of the
beautifully historic city of Valencia.
Featuring The Tower of
the King,a great monument of defensive character that possesses
Oropesa, nowadays one of the last known Valencian military buildings.
Its aesthetics presents an unique, Renaissance style among the military
architecture of the XVI century.
Today Oropesa has
grown in size and stature alongside the Fantastic development that is
Marina Dor, creating a bustling holiday town in the summer months and a
quiet friendly village in the winter months.
There
are many towns and villages within short driving distances to create a
holiday adventure you will always remember. With over 300 days of
beautiful sunshine here on the orange-blossom coast you are never far
away from the lovely warm sunshine with average temperatures in summer
around the 30 degree mark and in winter a chilly (for the spanish who
have thin blood!) 10 degrees.
Costa del Azahar Oropesa del Mar
The coast of the province of Castellón, the most northernly in the region of Valencia, is called the Costa del Azahar, meaning orange-blossom coast. The mountains climbing back from the beaches make it an attractive area, if overdeveloped in parts. Unspoilt beaches can be found, though, and the nature reserve on the Columbretes Islands is an inviting option.
Costa del Azahar
The Costa del Azahar is the name given to the coastline of the autonomous province of Castellon on the eastern side of Spain.
The name Costa del Azahar means orange blossom coast and was given to
the area because of the orange tree groves which can be found as you
move inland from its beautiful sandy beaches.
Among the towns in the Costa del Azahar worth seeing are Castellon de
la Plana which has 170,000 inhabitants and was founded by King James I
of Aragon in the 13th century when he overcame the Moors. Some
fascinating fortified remains of Castellon de la Plana remain, though
most of its moats and towers were torn down in the 19th century.
Car Hire Spain
is the best way to see this area of Spain and the town itself has some
interesting landmarks. There is a 13th century Gothic cathedral (the
Concatedral de Santa Maria), a bell tower and a 17th century hemp
market (the Llotja del Cànem). The hemp market building is today used
by the Castellon de la Plana university for holding temporary
exhibitions and putting on events.
Having a car will also let you get to other spectacular areas of Spain
with ease. The A70 road goes between Tarragona and Valencia with the
latter city being 60 kilometres distance drive to the north.
The Costa del Azahar is absolutely chock a block with all kinds of
different accommodation so finding somewhere to stay, whether you are
looking for a hotel, flat, apartment or guesthouse, should not be a
problem. Two of the four star hotels in the area which you can try are
the Gran Hotel Peníscola on the sea promenade of Peníscola and the
nearby Aparthotel Casablanca.
Peníscola is another part of the Costa del Azahar which has a steady tourist trade.
This fortified sea port was originally built by the Knights Templar in
the 14th century before becoming the home of the Avignon Pope Benedict
XIII.
Car hire Peníscola is certainly the best way to see the area. You can
make the short drive up the impressive Peníscola castle which overlooks
the Mediterranean Sea.
Indeed you even can sit on one of Peníscola’s fine beaches and enjoy the view of the castle while you soak up the sun rays.
Peníscola is also the base for one of Spain’s foremost comedy film
festivals where you can catch a sight of movie stars from all over the
world.
