Tour description

Discover the great unknown: the city of Castellón de La Plana. The history and stories of Castellón and its streets await you to explore them with the help of our native guides, the most highly rated in the city.

We cover the most important historical moments, from the Middle Ages to modernism, learning about its heritage and discovering its most entertaining legends and anecdotes in a highly recommended and comfortable walk through the most significant places in the city, as well as showing you, in each area of the city, the best places to eat and drink, because you have to cultivate the mind as well as the body.

Itinerary:

  • Our Free Tour will begin in the Plaza Mayor , next to the door of the Co-Cathedral of Santa María , where from its 13th century door, we will learn about the origins of Castelló. El Fadrí , the postcard of the city, together with the 18th century Town Hall and the Central Market will be the starting signal for a route that will surprise you.

  • We will continue along Calle Colón , which will take us from the 16th century Lonja del Cáñamo to the modernism of the early 20th century with the arrival of the railway, to La Farola and Ribalta Park , another of the unique postcards and lungs of this city.

  • Along the way we will find the Casa Dels Cuatre Cantons , modernist and Andalusian, the Post Office Building , one of the most beautiful in Castelló, or the Air Raid Shelter . From there, we will go to see the avant-garde work of Juan Ripollés , and we will meet King James I of Aragon , The Conqueror, founder of the city.

  • The Puerta del Sol, the Old Casino and the Plaza de la Paz , where a flying train used to pass, will take us to the most curious and mysterious alley in the entire city.

  • We will end up where we started, in the Plaza Mayor , next to the tavern area and meeting place for the city's people to have a vermouth. A comfortable and fascinating route without going up any hills, which is not called Castellón de La Plana for nothing.
