El Grao and Plaza del Mar

El Grao is Castellón’s maritime district, several kilometres from the centre. Plaza del Mar and the waterfront reveal a different city: boats, port activity and cooking associated with fish and rice. To understand its history, remember La Panderola, the steam railway that linked towns in La Plana with the harbour. It carried oranges and goods such as tiles, but also became part of everyday travel for local residents. MUCC’s itinerary recovers this relationship between industry, trade and passengers. Observe the marina from public spaces without confusing them with restricted working areas. This outing requires a TRAM, bus or taxi transfer; it is not part of the compact old town monument walk. Leave enough time to enjoy the waterfront and return comfortably to your accommodation.
