Alcossebre, is situated on the beautiful 'Costa del Azahar'. This area is well renowned for its orange and almond groves. In January & February the almond trees start to come into blossom and in May it's 'Orange Blossom Time'.
To the North you will find the picturesque towns of Benicarló, Peníscola, and Vinaròs. Peníscola is a beautiful town full of history as they filmed 'El Cid' there amongst the castle walls and on the white beaches. Vinaròs is renowned for its local speciality seafood dishes and each year in February they have a carnival which is on a par with the' Mardi Gras' in Rio, and well worth a visit at that time of year.
