Webcams Benicasim online - resort town of the province of Castellon
Benicasim is a cozy Spanish resort, which stretches along the mountain slopes in the picturesque Palm Desert reserve. You can get here from Valencia in just an hour. Those who still cannot get to Spain can watch Benicasim webcams online. The city was founded on the Mediterranean coast by Muslims from Andalusia. The toponym "Benicasim" is translated as "Children of the Messenger". In the Middle Ages, here, among the slopes, was located a castle, which for many years belonged to the caballero Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar. Only the remains of the former greatness of this structure have survived to this day. But the watchtower (the only one of 18), dating back to the 16th century, is well preserved.
Several centuries after the capture of the castle, Benicassim turned into a village for the inhabitants of neighboring Castellón. People came here on weekends and there was no particular development of this settlement.
Nowadays Benicasim is actively developing as a tourist center and is one of the main provinces of Castellón
Tourists are attracted by a long, well-groomed coastline, an abundance of retail outlets, catering establishments, and a variety of entertainment. The rest of the infrastructure will also not disappoint even an experienced traveler, who can find a way to relax here to his liking. A well-maintained embankment stretches along the cleanest sandy beach, about 6 km long, which has been awarded the prestigious Blue Flag mark for several years now. It replaces the usual city squares where festivities, exhibitions, and holidays take place. Tiny streets branch off from the embankment. From ancient times to the present day, luxurious villas have survived, surrounded by lush gardens and parks. Today, having a villa or a mansion in Benicasim is a sign of success and a certain status. Not only visitors from other countries like to spend their summer holidays here, but also the Spaniards living in Valencia and even Madrid. It is noteworthy that the city center, in comparison with the coastal strip, with luxuriously furnished houses of wealthy Spaniards, is a quarter for service personnel. The abundance of monuments and unique examples of modern architecture invariably attracts the enthusiastic glances of visitors. The long tradition of summer vacations is skilfully combined with modern leisure opportunities, which are embodied in a large number of events. The most important is the FIB festival, which is an extravaganza of unusual music, in which more than 50 thousand spectators and performers take part. Lovers of the reggae genre should definitely visit the Rototom Sunsplash Festival, the largest event of its kind in all of Europe. For those who prefer a secluded holiday among the sea and volcanic landscapes, you can rent a boat to get to the complex of uninhabited islands of Columbretes.
Lovers of walks among exotic thickets will surely enjoy the Palm Desert Reserve
Once upon a time the monastery of the Carmelites was located here. The ancient complex can be seen in our time. Now on the territory of the monastery there is a manor, where everyone is treated to herbal liqueur, created according to an old monastic recipe. The reserve is a dense forest, where hundreds of species of the rarest representatives of exotic flora grow. The forests are dotted with hiking trails, through which you can drink water from natural sources, as well as enjoy the views of Benicasim. An interesting cult site is the Church of St. Thomas de Villanueva. The building is made in the style of Neoclassicism and appeared here in the 18th century.
Among the modern attractions of the resort, it is worth noting the Aquarama water park, where an incredible number of all kinds of attractions for children and adults are located. The complex occupies 45 thousand m2. In addition to the slides, there are water cannons, swimming pools, jacuzzis. The park accepts guests from mid-June to early September. You can get here from the station by shuttle bus or private car.
Another highlight of the city is the abundance of health and beauty establishments
Here you can always visit one of the many spas, where guests are offered thalassotherapy sessions and other healing, restorative and relaxing procedures (massage, jacuzzi, experience showers, saunas, etc.). The qualified specialists of these establishments will always be happy to find the right program for the client's needs.
