Sitting on the mouth of the river Mijares, Almassora speaks of history and age-old traditions. Discover everything the town has to offer.


Fusing the Castellón countryside, coastline, traditions and history, Almassora, in the county of La Plana Alta,  is a great place to immerse yourself in the Mediterranean lifestyle. Shall we take a look around the town?


What to see in Almassora

Almassora is full of places to explore, experiences to live and food to taste. The best place to start your exploration of Almassora is in the historic walled centre. The town was founded by the Christians in the 13th century and you can still see the remains of the defensive walls that date from the 17th to 18th centuries today.  

The next place to see is Plaza Mayor with its Medieval arches, or Porxes, followed by La Natividad de Nuestra Señora, a Baroque parish church. You also won’t want to miss Almassora Municipal Museum, which houses collections of remains found at El Torrelló, amphoras and other items from shipwrecks. The Municipal Market is also a great spot to visit if you’re a foodie. 

The Almassora Castle ruins are well worth a visit as is Santa Quiteria bridge with its one-of-a-kind Gothic structure. And we can’t forget to mention Pont Nou, Nou Bridge, which crosses river Mijares, joining Almassora and Vila-Real, as well as San Antonio Chapel. 

And now it’s time to head to the beach. If you’re looking for a place offering all the services you could possibly need, La Torre and Benafeli beaches are tranquil spots where you can enjoy the Mediterranean. Not far from the coast is a unique landscape where you can see different bird species frolicking in the wetlands: the mouth of the river Mijares

If you love local festivals, try to coincide your trip to Almassora with the festivities celebrating Holy Week and San Antonio Abad. And whatever the time of year you’re visiting, make sure you bring home cheese, honey, spirits and oranges with you. Start planning your trip to this beautiful part of Castellón today.
