Eco-tourism at its best, this route allows you to get to know Benicàssim’s privileged

CAMPSITES
Vía Verde del Mar “Green Line”:
Formerly the site of the railroad linking Benicàssim and Oropesa del Mar, it is now
an eco-friendly route that can be followed on foot or by bike. It runs along the
coastline and it gives you views over two of the old look-out posts that protected
Benicàssim’s coast against pirate raids.

I like it
Benicàssim also offers many eco-friendly activities that can be enjoyed as
a family. Its cyclo-tourism route is perfect for sporty families that want to
get to know Benicàssim’s landscape on two wheels. It is a circular route,
with only a small gradient that even the smallest of your group will be able
to manage and resting stops along the way to enjoy the surroundings.
Enjoy Benicàssim as a family!

GET TO KNOW OUR HERITAGE
BATHE ON OUR BEACHES
FAMILY ADVENTURE
FOR YOUNG CHILDREN
Benicàssim’s unique history has left it with a
wealth of artistic heritage that can be enjoyed
all year round.
Benicàssim has more than six kilometres of
beaches, Blue Flag beaches that have also
been awarded the Spanish Tourism Quality
Institute’s “Q” certificate and ISO 14001. To
talk of Voramar, Almadraba, Torre de San
Vicente, Els Terrers and Heliópolis beaches is
to talk of quality beaches, fully-adapted to the
needs of not only families, but people with
different levels of physical disability who want
to bathe in the Mediterranean.
Benicàssim has not forgotten the more active families,
offering up a whole range of activities and
entertainment to satisfy their taste for adventure.
Benicàssim’s Cinema-Theatre has a programme
suitable for children all year round. Workshops in arts
and crafts, traditional games, puppets, and
environmental education, etc. are just some of the
many options available in Benicàssim. There is also
the “Enjoy your Saturday” initiative, a series of
entertainment and education activities aimed at
children aged from 2 to 12, with many activities
available for each age range. And, over the summer
season, Benicàssim’s two beach libraries are an
attractive option, making the reading experience even
more enriching and appealing to children.
The Route of the Villas, running along the
seafront promenade between Hotel Voramar
and St. Vincent's Tower, will take you back in
time to the Belle Époque and the height of
high society’s summer frolics at the turn of the
twentieth century. If we head into the town
itself, we will find St. Thomas of Villanueva
church, and the Cinema-Theatre, which offers
up a varied programme of theatre, music,
workshops, exhibitions and films all year
round.
And if Benicàssim’s tangible historical
heritage isn’t enough, consider also the sheer
number of local festivals in honour of patron
saints. St. Anthony and St. Águeda are
celebrated in January. In February there is the
pilgrimage, also in honour of St. Águeda. In
September comes the turn of St. Thomas of
Villanueva. Not forgetting the magical St.
John's Night, on 23rd June.
Not only can you sunbathe, take a dip and
generally relax, but there are also lots of sports
and other activities on offer. Volleyball, sports
fishing, sailing, outdoor gym equipment, yoga,
windsurf and children’s play areas suitable for
even the smallest of your group.
Benicàssim also has two beach libraries
which, with a wide selection of children’s
books, allows you to lose yourself in a fictional
world while sat in the shade of palm trees,
listening to the sea's waves.
You could start at the mini-golf range or the bowling
alley, then up the stakes at the go-kart centre as you
go careening around the circuit at full speed. Or why
not head straight to the water slides and other
family-friendly craziness at Aquarama theme park?
Benicàssim’s fully-equipped Skatepark is the ideal
place for practicing tricks and turns on your
skateboard, BMX or roller skates. While at Bosque
Aventura your children can enjoy activities like the
classic zip-line while learning to appreciate nature
and the natural setting.
Animal lovers can ride on horseback through
Benicàssim’s stunning natural setting. And for the
adventurers of the future who haven’t yet learned to
walk, Benicàssim offers a range of children's
swimming classes designed to develop psycho-motor
skills and give your young ones the best head start.
Formigues Festival is held on the first Saturday in
October at the Pepe Falomir amphitheatre on Torre
San Vicente beach. It is a music festival aimed at
children aged 0 to 12, but it is a place where parents
and other family members can also enjoy the concerts
and other activities alongside their children.
It is born of a generation of parents in Benicàssim who
have grown up in an environment where music, and
music festivals, have always played a big role.
