La Plaza del Mar

The  ‘Plaza del Mar’, situated between the ‘Moll de Costa’ (Coast Quay), the Castellón Yacht Club and the Fishing Harbour, was inaugurated in the summer of 1995 and became the starting point for the process that would permanently transform the interior part of the inner basin of the port. With a surface area of   15.000 square metres, there are now more than a dozen shops, cafes and restaurants, an exhibition hall in the Moruno Building, an observation tower and a promenade area with, at its centre, a fountain in a large pond.

This area is completed by a small park and 150 parking places in the southern part. The ‘Plaza del Mar’, which from the beginning has been the stage for a variety of cultural activities and festivals, has revitalised the whole port area and has provided the inhabitants of El Grau with new space open to the sea.
