Carnival of Vinaròs

The carnival of Vinaròs is one of the best known on the Mediterranean coast, recognised as a Regional Tourist Interest festivity on 22 February 2007. Despite its long tradition, it was banned under the Franco dictatorship, and since 1983 lost elements have been recovered and new ones incorporated into the celebration. It has received various awards, such as the Alé Vinarossenc prize in 2004 and the award for best festivity in the province at the 2011 Onda Cero Castellón Awards, and the city council and the Castellón provincial council are currently promoting its candidacy to achieve the designation of National Tourist Interest festivity.
