Tourism
Benicarló, an important fishing and tourism port center on the Costa del Azahar, has a long beach and a historic center replete with remarkable examples of imposing architecture.
The origins of Benicarló go back to the Middle Ages, when it was a small Arab city, keeping its original urban layout attractive until today, with many of its houses displaying their coats of arms.
In the center of the village we find the church of Sant Bertomeu, a baroque temple with a beautiful facade carved in stone, and the spiral columns. In the interior we can visit the Parish Museum, with interesting exhibitions of Gothic art works.
On a nearby hill stands the hermitage of Sant Gregori, a place of popular pilgrimage every May 9.
Maritime tradition of Benicarló can be witnessed by its active fishing port, next to which there is a beach that extends to the neighboring town of Peñíscola, undoubtedly one of the main attractions of the city.
Benicarló, facing the sea, offers us a coastal landscape, made up of soft sandy beaches, as well as protected forest areas further inland.
