Castellón, one of Spain’s top cycling destinations
Its climate for most of the year, the combination of coast and inland, the mountain passes, and the low traffic density make this province a true cycling paradise.
In recent years, the province of Castellón has established itself as one of the favourite destinations for road cycling enthusiasts. Thanks to a privileged climate for much of the year, low-traffic roads and a unique combination of coast and mountains, each season hundreds of Spanish and international cyclists visit the province to train or take part in sporting events.
Whether you are an amateur cyclist looking to take on a new challenge or part of a club or team, knowing Castellón’s cycling calendar will allow you to plan your season and make the most of every race. In addition, choosing accommodation tailored to a cyclist’s needs will make the difference between a good experience and a truly comfortable stay.
In addition to its routes, Castellón hosts numerous competitions and sportive rides each season that attract hundreds of participants. Among the upcoming dates are events on the regional calendar such as the Trofeo Escuelas de Ciclismo de Onda, the Trofeo Jofre Grau de Almassora, the regional final in Benicàssim, and the Challenge de la Plana, one of the fastest races on the provincial calendar.
