Vinaros area guide

Welcome to Vinaros

Located an hour South of Tarragona on the Costa Azahar is the fishing port of Vinaros, a city which blends beachy vibes with some of the best shopping in Castellon.

Enjoy amazing seafood, excellent shopping and fantastic blue flag beaches.

Located in the province of Castellon just over an hour away from Tarragona is Vinaros, a coastal city combining relaxed beach vibes with some of the best shopping in Castellon.

The beaches here are picture perfect: long, golden, with fine sand and azure waters, with a sleek, palm-lined waterfront buzzing with restaurants, bars and stalls. Head along the coast and craggy coves begin to emerge, perfect for underwater exploration.

These waters aren’t just for leisure though; the area is also a busy fishing port. This is great news for seafood lovers, supplying an abundance of fresh-caught seafood available year-round, both in local markets and on local menus. Be sure to check out the star of the local gastronomic scene: the Vinaros prawn, an unusually large, meaty variety with a delicate flavour, beloved across Spain.

Head to the city centre for some truly fantastic shopping, not to mention fantastic architecture. Here, immaculate plazas are generously flanked with a huge selection of shops, bars and restaurants, leading to some spectacular old buildings. Be sure to pay a visit to the compelling and idiosyncratic church of La Asuncion, which juxtaposes its rugged, painted fortress structure with a magnificent and refined baroque style church façade.
