Why visit Vinaròs

Vinaròs is a real working town at the northern end of the coast, where the fishing fleet still lands the langostinos that made its name — sweet local prawns celebrated with their own festival. Around the port sit a fortified baroque church, an afternoon fish auction, and a string of coves running north towards the Ebro Delta. Gastronomy first, tourism second.
