Plana de l'Arc Greenways for Families

Exploring the Plana de l'Arc Greenways is one of the best things to do with children in Castellón, giving families the chance to spend time outdoors and enjoy the landscape at a leisurely pace.

The network of shared cycling and walking paths follows the historic Vía Augusta and links seven inland towns in Castellón: Benlloc, Cabanes, Les Coves de Vinromà, La Torre d’en Doménec, Vall d’Alba, Vilafamés and Vilanova d’Alcolea. 

Because the routes are largely flat, safe and see very little motor traffic, they work especially well for family bike rides or gentle walks in Castellón. You can follow them on foot, by bike, with a pushchair, on a child’s bike or with a bike trailer, making them a flexible option for families with children of different ages.
