Castelló, city and province

Castelló is a warm friendly city with approximately 180,000 inhabitants that is located between the mountains of the Desert de las Palmas natural reserve and the Mediterranean sea. Along the coastal strip, the landscape offers huge areas of orange groves together with 120 km of excellent beaches, bathed by the warm water of the Mediterranean. As we go inland, the landscape quickly changes. Castelló is the second most mountainous province in Spain, and it possesses a rich cultural, historical and landscape heritage.

The city enjoys a mild and pleasant Mediterranean climate with averages of 27°C in summer and 18°C in winter, and it is one of the few cities where you can enjoy more than 300 days of sunshine per year with a good temperature. This will allow you to do outdoor activities at any time of year.

Castelló has grown a lot in recent years and it is a city that is making steady progress towards the future, but without neglecting its traditions. Some examples of the cultural growth and economic development of the city include the UJI, the Auditorium and Conference Centre, the Museum of Fine Arts, the marina, etc., as well as the promising projects that are starting to be set in motion.
