The attractive town of Castellón de la Plana, chief town of its province, lies in a fertile plain, the Huerta de la Plana, and is a center of the trade in oranges, large quantities of which are shipped from the port of El Grao de Castellón, to the east of the town on the beautiful Costa del Azahar ("Orange-Blossom Coast").
