Benicasim, a small Biarritz among orange trees and the Mediterranean

Benicasim, a coastal town in the province of Castellón, has been a popular summer destination for over a century, earning it the nickname "Biarritz of the Mediterranean". The town's landscape features modernist villas, beaches, and natural areas, including the Natural Park of the Desert of Las Palmas and the Green Way of the Sea.

The town's tourism industry has evolved, with a growing trend towards year-round residency, driven by its combination of coast, landscape, and natural spaces. The real estate market is reflecting this change, with a rise in property prices, including a recent 8.12% increase to €2,848 per square meter.
