This fishing town has an 18th century church that is worth visiting together with an archaeological museum. There are many restaurants serving the coastal speciality of paella in the town. The whole area is famed for the growing of oranges and fresh orange juice is a delightful drink if the hour has not yet arrived for the local wine.

A visit to the picturesque mountain village of Morella is interesting. One house has a macabre story attached to it dating from the early 1400's. The family had no food to offer the local saint. A wife and her husband killed their son and made a paella with the meat, Saint Vicente later heard of this and put the body together and brought the son back to life. Unfortunately he was missing one finger which his mother had eaten to check the food was cooked to perfection!.

The local festival is the 'Fallas' (burning figures) which takes place on March 19th. Both about 8 kilometers from the Parador, the Feast of 'Moros y Cristianos' is celebrated in Peniscola on September 8th, and the Carnivals of Vinaroz in February.
