The ‘Moll de Costa’ (Coast Quay) and the Azahar Port

At the begining of the new Century, in a three stage development, the definitive steps were taken to open the Port of Castellón to the town. The ‘Moll de Costa’ (Coast Quay) was transformed into a recreation area with a variety of services, at the same time the Castellón Yacht Club (Club Náutico de Castellón) club was renovated and extended and the new Marina Port Castelló (Marina PortCastelló) opened.

The first phase was the construction of a large park designed to accommodate open air performances and a children's area including a man sized ‘snakes and ladders’ game with squares made of specially prepared ceramic tiles. All of this is surrounded by gardens, fountains and sculptures some already particularly popular with local people such as the ‘Font del Peix’ (the Fish Fountain)

Next was the construction of a leisure complex called the ‘Puerto Azahar’, which includes cinemas, restaurants, pubs, shops, a park for children and an underground car park with 600 places.

Finally in 2008, the old warehouse of the port was converted into the Gran Casino Castellón. The exterior part of the building was carefully preserved and inside there are rooms for gambling, two restaurants, an auditorium for concerts, banquets and other social events as well as a large exterior terrace.
