Tour description

Discover the great unknown: the city of Castellón de La Plana. The history and stories of Castellón and its streets await you on a fun tour led by our native guides, the city's top-rated.

We explore the most important historical moments, from the Middle Ages to Modernism, exploring its heritage and uncovering its most entertaining legends and anecdotes on a highly recommended and comfortable tour of the city's most significant locations. We also point out the best places to eat and drink in each area, because it's important to cultivate your mind as well as your body.

Itinerary:

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

  • We will continue along Calle Colón , which will lead us from the 16th century Hemp Exchange to the modernism of the dawn of the 20th century with the arrival of the railway, in La Farola and Ribalta Park , another of the unique postcards and lungs of this city.

  • Along the way, we'll find the Casa dels Cuatre Cantons , a modernist and Andalusian building; the Post Office Building , one of Castelló's most beautiful; and the Air Raid Shelter . From there, we'll head to see the avant-garde work of Juan Ripollés and meet King James I of Aragon , the Conqueror, founder of the city.

  • Puerta del Sol, the Old Casino , and 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'll end where we started, in the Plaza Mayor , next to the tavern area and the meeting place for locals to enjoy vermouth. A comfortable and fascinating route without any hills, as it's not called Castellón de La Plana for nothing.
