Flat in Benicàssim, Castelló, Spain
The apartment we are offering is a second/holiday home in Benicassim, Castellon, Spain.
The apartment is located in a quiet residential zone 10 minutes walk from the town of Benicassim and about 200 metres away ( 5 minutes walk) from a very nice beach. In general the area is quiet. There are tourists in season, but the tourism is mostly Spanish families.
There is a supermarket, other shops and restaurants near the apartment, if you don’t want to walk to the town.
You can rent bicycles in the town.
Behind Benicassim, going inland, there is a mountainous landscape which includes a beautiful natural park.
The apartment is on the first floor in a building with a car park and gardens and has:a living-room; a bathroom; a large newly-renovated kitchen/dining room, with a sofa-bed (if necessary); 2 bedrooms with a double bed; a large balcony.
Benicassim is 10 km. from the large town of Castellon. There is a frequent bus service.
Castellon is 70 km. from Valencia, which is much bigger, and is the nearest airport.
Benicassim is 275 km. (2 hrs. 30 mins by a fast train) from Barcelona.
We are both retired teachers and live in Barcelona; Pilar is Spanish, from Castellon province, so Benicassim is in her home territory. Stephen is English, and has lived in Spain for over 30 years, so we can communicate in either language.
