Burriana in Two Days: Modernism and the Mediterranean

Burriana in two days gives you the chance to really enjoy a seafaring, modernist town which still preserves its old watchtowers and offers a wide range of things to do. This corner of Castellón is well worth a getaway, and we are here to help you plan it.

What to see in Burriana in two days? Day 1 

A weekend itinerary in Burriana really has to begin in its oldest quarter, after which we will take you down towards the sea, while the second day will be all about discovering its more natural surroundings and enjoying a few trips to nearby places. Make a good note of it all! 

Burriana must-sees 

Discover Burriana’s old town, leaving yourself enough time to visit an interesting museum or join a guided activity. Afterwards, we will end the day by the sea, passing an old watchtower along the way: 

• Burriana Historic Centre: take photos of the façades of traditional working houses. 

• Former Convent of La Merced and Burriana Municipal Archaeological Museum: a cultural centre where you can discover archaeological finds from different periods. 

• Parish Church of El Salvador: with Romanesque and Gothic elements, this 13th-century church is a must-see. 

• Convent of San José, Discalced Carmelites: visit its elegant church. 

During your two-day getaway in Burriana, including one of the guided tours that take you through streets lined with modernist façades could be a wonderful idea. You will love them! 

A beach day in Burriana 

To round off the first part of your two-day visit to Burriana, we suggest exploring its watchtower, known as Torre del Mar, before heading down to the Mediterranean. Do not forget to bring everything you need for a day at the beach! 

• L’Arenal beach: a great atmosphere, plenty of services and a wide choice of places to eat. 

• El Grao-Malvarrosa beach: close to the town centre and accessible, with a family-friendly feel. 

What to see in Burriana in two days? Day 2 

You can spend this second day discovering the Protected Landscape of the Mouth of the River Mijares, a natural setting with rich biodiversity. And, if you enjoy birdwatching, do not forget to bring your binoculars and camera! 

What to see near Burriana by car? 

If you still have time left to complete your two-day visit to Burriana, we suggest a couple of fascinating spots just a short drive away, including nothing less than a fortified town and an enormous cave with an underground river. 

• Mascarell: this architectural treasure in Nules dates back to the 13th century and still preserves its walls, which are crowned by four towers. A walk inside is an absolute must. 

• Cova de Sant Josep: in La Vall d’Uixó, this wonderful surprise awaits you: an underground river, one of the longest in Europe, bordered by stalactites and stalagmites that create a truly magical setting. You can even travel along it by boat!
