A perfect CASTELLON APARTMENTS holiday can start anywhere in Spain and this article deals with Spanish delights of the rustic and relaxing mountainous area of Castellon. This laid back and idyllic region has many activities for travellers who enjoy rural views, mountainous walks and quiet cities with plenty of choice for entertainment. Start with a stroll within this Spanish town and enjoy the typical relaxed and chilled atmosphere. Begin in the town centre with its orange-tree lined streets. You can take a stroll across the old quarter near to the Plaza del Santa Clara which is an old market place. You will discover several examples of historical architecture with incredible Medieval and Renaissance designs inside the city. Walking around the area will enable you to experience a lot of the ancient structures with amazing tapestries, sculptures and works of art. Castellon is yet another good way to familiarise yourself with the Spanish language as you discover the many unique places scattered across the city. The village of El Port includes the town of Forcall, Morella and El Maestrazgo del San Mateo where architecture built during the 14th to 16th centuries can be found. Morella also has a walled medieval town as well as the well-known St Maria la Mayor Basilica built in the 15th century. One of the metropolitan areas in La Plana village, Borriol was once a Roman town and has an historic landmark today because some prehistoric remains were discovered in this particular place. Ares Del Maestre is an additional village in Castellon that was once a walled city and later inhabited by Muslims during the 14th century. Prehistoric caves with pieces of wall art were also discovered in this particular village. For bullfighting, visit the village of Alto Palencia which is particularly famous for bull festivals. As we move further into rustic Spain and travel down the coast to Tarragona which is the southernmost province in Catalonia. Situated on Coast Dorada, Tarragona is renowned for its beautiful beaches along with its attractive town areas which are the home to probably the most ancient vestiges that are evidence of Spain’s glorious past. The UNESCO World Heritage sites in Tarragona offer plenty of Iberian civilization remains littered across the region and a lot of Roman vestiges too. Cutting wonderfully into the Tarragonian skyline is the town’s cathedral built within the twelfth century which is a wonderful example of Roman and Medieval architecture. Its interior exhibits a stretch of tapestries and artefacts together with a marble altar. The wonderfully maintained Amfiteatre Roma or Roman Amphitheatre was built in 50 BC can be found near the seaside, close to the coast of Rambla Nova. You will find other Roman ruins scattered within the city, plus a breathtaking aqueduct referred to as Pont Del Diable or Devil’s Bridge. It is further from a lot of the other remains but experiencing the miracles of Roman engineering might be well worth the trek. It is also worthwhile to visit the Museu Necropolis just outside the town because it is likely that it is the most important Christian funeral sites in Spain from the 3rd to 5th centuries. All of these places are easy to visit when you are staying in CASTELLON APARTMENTS.
