What's on in Moncofa

Moncofa is a small, flat coastal town on Castellón's Costa del Azahar, with a low-key strip of beach, breakwater coves and apartment blocks that fill mainly with Spanish families in summer. It's an unpretentious, locally minded beach town rather than an international resort — the sort of place built around a long, lazy day by the sea.

Its summer life is quiet and cultural: the Sala Pleamar puts on its summer art exhibitions, and the Copa de la Mediterrània open-water swim, now in its 23rd edition, brings swimmers out into the bay. Here's what's on while you're here.
