Situated on the primary motorway between Barcelona and Valencia, Castellón is in the heart of the Costa del Azahar – a part of Spain best known as the ‘Orange Blossom Coast' thanks to the stunning beaches and historic towns.
Hiring a car in Castellón allows you to explore the surrounding region. The city of Castellón de la Plana is home to a number of historical buildings, the most famous of which is the Concatedral de Santa Maria and the stand-alone El Fadrí bell tower of the pro-cathedral. The Llotja del Cànem hemp market is another popular tourists spot
The region of Castellón is a great base for exploring the Costa del Azahar and beyond. With towns like Peniscola and Benicàssim (which hosts one of the world's biggest music festivals every summer), the region is very popular with tourists whilst, at the same time, remaining somewhat quieter than Spain's more developed regions.
When you hire car from Castellón you can explore some traditional Spanish architecture in the region, such as the castle at Peniscola. This is where Avignon pope Benedict XIII lived from 1417 until his death in 1423 and now, thanks to some tasteful renovation, it is a very popular attraction for visitors from around the world
