Why Retire to the Costa de Azahar?
The Costa de Azahar, stretching along the Castellón coastline north of Valencia, is a hidden gem for retirees seeking a quieter, more authentic slice of Spanish life. With a mild Mediterranean climate, uncrowded sandy beaches, and a cost of living lower than many better-known coastal regions, it’s an appealing choice for those prioritising tranquility and value. Towns like Peñíscola, Benicarló, and Oropesa del Mar offer a blend of traditional charm and modern amenities, while the nearby city of Castellón provides access to healthcare, transport, and cultural attractions. For retirees looking to enjoy Spain at a gentler pace, the Costa de Azahar is well worth considering.
