The best local festivities on the Costa Azahar
BENICÀSSIM
In the first months of the year, Benicàssim dresses up to honour its patron saints: San Antonio Abad and Santa Águeda. January 17th marks the beginning of one of the most eagerly awaited festivities of the year, where the streets are filled with joy and tradition.
The procession, the emotional offering to the patron saint and the enchanting parade of floats, accompanied by the sweet aroma of the blessed ‘coquetes’, make this celebration an unforgettable event. And when night falls, the bonfires light up the sky in a magical atmosphere.
But the festivities do not end there. In February, the pilgrimage to the Hermitage of Santa Águeda takes us back to the origins of the town, recalling the moment when the people of Benicàssis received the Town Charter.
And what would Benicàssim be without its traditional Paella Day? Since 1980, this event has become a symbol of the community, bringing together locals, tourists and visitors in the main streets of the municipality. More than 800 paellas are prepared and enjoyed in a festive atmosphere full of flavour.
In September, the streets come alive again with the Fiestas of Santo Tomás de Villanueva, which usually take place during the week of 22 September. A week full of open-air dances, running of the bulls, heifers and bulls on a stake. But there is also room for gastronomy, with days dedicated to local flavours, and live music that makes all those who attend vibrate.
This is Benicàssim, a place where tradition merges with joy, and where every celebration is an opportunity to enjoy life in community.
