What's on in Almenara

Almenara sits at the southern edge of the Costa del Azahar in Castellón province, a small town split between an inland centre below a hilltop castle and its low-key beach district of Casablanca on the coast. Between them lie the marshes and lagoons of the Marjal dels Moros, a quiet wetland good for birds. The beach is long, flat and sandy, the resort modest — this is a holiday spot Spanish families know better than foreign tourists.

Summer is when it stirs: the Festes d'Estiu light up Casablanca beach, and the Gastrofira gourmet showcase puts local food and wine on the table. Here's what's on while you're here.
