A life in natural surroundings
Chapter I · Nature
This corner of the province of Castellón retains the essence of the Mediterranean at its most authentic: from high on a mountain, you can watch the sun rise over a calm sea.
The magic of the province lies in being able to see high mountains from the water’s edge. Minutes from Porta de Mar you will find the Desert de les Palmes Natural Park and, a little further on, the Serra d’Irta Natural Park.
Boats leave from the port of Oropesa itself for les Illes Columbretes, volcanic islands and one of the most important nature reserves in the Comunitat Valenciana.
Choosing Porta de Mar means choosing nature without giving anything up: all the amenities of a city are only minutes away.

Chapter II · Cuisine
The true flavourof a land
The Mediterranean, land of orange blossom: fish, shellfish, olives, fruit and vegetables that define a healthy cuisine full of flavour.
The province of Castellón has a cuisine shaped by its produce: traditional or avant-garde, locally sourced, built on respect for the land and for the people who work it.
Three Michelin-starred restaurants — Cal Paradís in Vall d’Alba, Raúl Resino in Benicarló and Atalaya in Alcossebre — lead a generation of chefs who bring local produce together with the avant-garde.
Castellón also has its own gastronomic label, Castelló Ruta de Sabor, which brings together the finest local producers.

Places to discoverand remember
The surrounding area holds some of Spain’s most beautiful villages: Morella, Peñíscola and Vilafamés, with the Maestrazgo a short drive away.
The World Tourism Organization named Morella one of the best tourism villages in the world: a walled medieval town high on a mountain crowned by a castle.
Vilafamés, with its clear Arab influence, is listed as a Site of Cultural Interest for its historic centre.
Because of its proximity, Castellón has close ties with the historic region of the Maestrazgo: Vistabella, Valdelinares, Puertomingalvo, Mora de Rubielos, Mirambel and Cantavieja.
