Destination information
The Desierto de las Palmas is one of the hidden treasures of the province of Castellón. Contrary to what its name suggests, this environment has nothing to do with a desert; instead, it offers an idyllic landscape full of biodiversity, perfect for hiking and adventure sports. Its canyons and varied routes will test your stamina while you enjoy nature.
The Natural Park is home to the Monasterio de 1694 (1694 Monastery), surrounded by hermitages, and several viewpoints with panoramic views of Benicàssim and its surroundings.
If you dare to climb to the summit, you will reach Pico Bartolo (Bartolo Peak), at over 720 metres above sea level, from where you can take in a spectacular panoramic view of the Mediterranean and numerous inland towns of Castellón. Furthermore, the park shelters unique flora and fauna, making every walk an unforgettable natural experience in Benicàssim.
