Benicàssim, Coastal municipality in Plana Alta, Spain.
Benicàssim is a coastal municipality in Castellón province that extends along the Mediterranean shoreline. It combines developed urban areas with natural landscapes backed by mountains and fronted by sandy beaches.
Archaeological discoveries near Desert de les Palmes show prehistoric settlements followed by Roman occupation. These early traces reveal that this Mediterranean coastline has been inhabited for thousands of years.
The town hosts major music festivals each summer that draw visitors to performances held across different locations. These events shape the local rhythm and give the area a distinctive character during the warm months.
The area connects to nearby cities through regular train services and the AP-7 highway. Direct access from Valencia and Barcelona makes it easy for visitors to arrive.
