Azahar is  the name of the coastline 200 kilometers south of Barcelona, not far from the provinces Valencia.

Costa Azahar is framed by pine-wooded hills that softly descends to reach the orange groves on the sunny Mediterranean coast.

If you are not looking for the hectic nightlife at Costa Blanca or Costa del Sol you might just long to Las Fuentes, Alcossebre (Alcocebre) and Cap i Corb where you find beautiful beaches and unspoilt nature.

Castellon is still a quite unknown area for European tourism, but in future Castellon will for sure become more popular. Castellon is located on the warm Spanish Mediterranean coast, where winter's mild climate attracts all those who suffer from northern Europe's long winter months.

But what has Castellon to offer in the European tourists? The answer is golf, very pleasant climate and lower prices than in other popular areas along the Mediterranean coast.

 Castellon province has a very pleasant Mediterranean climate, despite that the sunny winter days can be fewer than on Costa del Sol. On the other hand, this is an area where it rarely rains and where tourism is almost a novelty. Overall Castellon is an area to keep in mind and where international tourism will undoubtedly find an attractive option in the future.

Local authorities in Castellon are aware of what needs to be done to attract tourism, which is interesting: The idea is to offer golf 365 days a year!

The plans are already a reality and as many as 16 new golf courses are being built in Castellon, and will open shortly.

The advantage is mainly that the land is still cheap in Castellon, when compared with other more developed and traditional Spanish tourist areas of Costa Blanca, Costa Brava or Costa del Sol, which clearly facilitates the construction of many new golf courses and results in very attractive housing prices in an almost untouched area that is very similar to the Costa del Sol and Alicante before the international tourism started in Spain 40 years ago.
