Summer plans in the Region of Valencia: beaches and getaways

The options are almost endless for your summer plans in the Valencian Community: beaches and coves, hiking trails, natural pools in stunning surroundings, charming villages and much more. What takes your fancy? We've put together this short guide to help you choose and plan an incredible few days!

Summer plans in Castellón

How about a summer getaway in Peñíscola? It’s a beautiful town, offering sandy beaches, a castle to explore, and the stunning coves of the Sierra de Irta, wild and natural, which the town shares with Alcalà de Xivert/Alcossebre.

Or perhaps you'd prefer Oropesa del Mar, which also has spectacular rocky coves and a beautiful route along the sea so you can cycle or walk to Benicasim. There you'll find beautiful Art Nouveau villas and all you need to make your summer a success.

Although your summer plans may tend more towards the interior. Did you know that in Castellón you have stunning routes that let you enjoy breathtaking landscapes while cooling off? Lucena del Cid, Villahermosa del Río, Ludiente and Cirat are perfect for combining fresh water and rural tourism. And to finish off, we suggest visiting Navajas, next to the Vía Verde de Ojos Negros, offering a spectacular bathing area.
