Benicarló

The municipality extends over 47.9 square kilometers along the Mediterranean coast between Vinaròs and Peñíscola, with a population of 26,744 residents.

The settlement developed from an Arab town in the Middle Ages, maintaining its original urban pattern with numerous houses displaying traditional stone coats of arms.

The Church of Sant Bertomeu features an octagonal bell tower and houses the Parish Museum, which contains a collection of Gothic art pieces.

The city connects to major destinations through its train station on the Valencia-Barcelona line and direct access to the A7 Highway network.

The region produces certified designation of origin artichokes, celebrated during an annual festival with specialized culinary events in January.
