Vilafamés
Vilafamés is a village in the interior of the province of Castellón. It is 25 km from the capital.
As you approach Vilafamés, you will see the village perched up on a hill.
Vilafamés has a spectacular old town. Strolling at leisure through its streets transports us to its Arab origins thanks to its narrow and zigzagging streets, while a multitude of breath-taking nooks and crannies are to be found between the castle at the top and small church at its feet.
With the Christian expansion, Vilafamés began to grow, leading to construction of its impressive parish church and 15th-century palace. Here the streets are laid out in a linear fashion.
The town's impressive “ROCA GROSSA” is very striking. This is a mass of stone that you will encounter as you wind your way up the main street of Vilafamés.
What is most surprising, without a doubt, is that throughout the old town of Vilafamés, similar stone predominates in all its buildings.
The historic complex of Vilafamés was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest on 22 April, 2005.

I would like to welcome you to Vilafamés. Located halfway between the mountainous area of the interior and the coast, providing the extraordinary environmental and climatic conditions that shape the nature of our town.
Strolling through the historic centre is a real pleasure, enabling the monuments and emblematic buildings to reveal the town's splendid historical past. But it is not only the cultural diversity of the past that has left its mark on Vilafamés: the most outstanding avant-garde art has a place in the town thanks to its Museum of Contemporary Art.
Vilafamés undoubtedly combines the past with the present and the future. A hugely rich environmental, gastronomic, cultural, and monumental heritage is our calling card, all combined with the friendly character of our people.
Should this not be enough to tempt you, the city council is implementing the Strategic Tourism Plan "Vilafamés 2020" to improve the range and quality of tourist products and services on offer today, in the hopes of making us leaders in the sector. The road may be long, but without a doubt the enthusiasm, work and effort have begun to bear fruit. I hope you will join us on this walk and enjoy our town with all your senses.
Do not miss the innumerable delights that Vilafamés has to offer.
