Sport
The character and beauty of the Castellón coast, together with the prevailing winds, climate and landscape, make it the ideal place for practising all kinds of outdoor and water sports.
The regattas for the 32nd and 33rd America’s Cup, the world's oldest and most prestigious sailing event, in the waters around Valencia has revived enthusiasm for yachting, with more than 45 marinas now open for business.
The renowned Masters Costa Azahar Golf Tournament is also held in Castellón and has led to a number of golf courses being built around the province, attracting professional and amateur players alike. The courses provide the opportunity to play in typically Mediterranean landscapes near the sea or the mountains and are equipped with a full range of services. The great weather means that golfing enthusiasts are guaranteed a round at any time of the year.
Castellón also has a range of sports clubs running local, provincial, national and international events, such as Castellón Tennis Club, Castalia Swimming Club, Benicasim Sailing Club and Castellón Cycling Club.
Health and Wellness
Castellón’s progress is evident by the number of public and private health clinics and centres.
Castellón General Hospital, the Provincial Hospital and the Nisa Rey Don Jaime are all major modern hospitals with an excellent reputation both within and outside the Valencia Region for their high standard of healthcare and their research activities. The hospitals all share a similar approach to delivering patient-centred treatment and care.
The Pedro Cavadas Foundation, a world leader in reconstructive surgery, the Grimal Institute, the Menezo Ophthalmology Clinic and Dr. Miguel Angel Santamaría, director of the Provincial Hospital Oncology Centre are all proof of this culture of professional excellence.
The province of Castellón has a huge number of mineral and medicinal springs and water sources that date back to ancient times and still preserve their beneficial properties.
Water from the Mediterranean Sea is also used by thalassotherapy and spa centres that offer a variety of treatments for soothing both body and mind.
