About Benicàssim
Benicàssim is a beach resort of about 20,000 people, 13 km north of Castellón de la Plana. Its beaches, among them L'Almadrava, Torre de San Vicent and Voramar, run for about six kilometres and are linked by one promenade. Voramar is known for the villas along its seafront, and modernist and colonial-style holiday villas went up by the beaches from the late 19th century. The historic quarter centres on an 18th-century neoclassical parish church. Behind the town rises the Desert de les Palmes, a protected range rather than a desert, which shelters Benicàssim from the north wind and tops out at Mount Bartolo, 729 metres. The homes are close together in town.

Getting to Benicàssim
