Located in the province of Castellón, Oropesa del Mar will take you aback with wild looking coves, plenty of sights and beaches where you can while away the hours. It’s the perfect destination for doing some water sports and having fun with all the family. We recommend coming to visit this enchanting place to enjoy an unforgettable holiday by the seaside.
Oropesa del Mar: what to see
Start your explorations at Oropesa del Mar Castle and Walls, which sit atop a hill overlooking the town. The fortress is steeped in history and affords spectacular views that you will enjoy soaking up.
Next, in the centre visit Nuestra Señora la Virgen de la Paciencia Church where you can see a beautiful chapel decorated with L’Alcora ceramics. Nearby is Oropesa del Mar Museum where you can explore the old jailhouse and see a collection that tells the story of how daily life in the destination has evolved over the years.
And that’s not all there is to do in the centre of Oropesa del Mar. We’d also recommend visiting San Jaime Apóstol Parish Church and then exploring the heritage sites located on the coast. Take a look around Orpesa la Vella archaeological site and visit Colomera, La Cordà and El Rey Watchtowers.
Oropesa del Mar boasts a selection of diverse and spectacular beaches carved by the Mediterranean waters. La Renegà is a particularly wild stretch of the coast and Orpesa la Vella, La Concha, Les Amplaries and El Retor Cove are also well worth putting on your list. Whatever time of the year you visit, you can enjoy the sea breeze, sunshine and the sound of the breaking waves.
Last but by no means least, grab your bike or pull on your walking shoes and explore a spectacular former railway line that flanks the coastline. Known as Vía Verde del Mar, the trail extends to Benicasim, leading you to iconic spots and unforgettable scenery along the way. So how about it? Do you fancy exploring Oropesa del Mar on your next getaway?
