From there, we'll head to see the avant-garde work of Juan Ripollés and meet King James I of Aragon , the Conqueror, founder of the city.
- Puerta del Sol, the Old Casino , and Plaza de la Paz —where a flying train used to pass— will take us to the most curious and mysterious alley in the entire city.
- We'll end where we started, in the Plaza Mayor , next to the tavern area and the meeting place for locals to enjoy vermouth. A comfortable and fascinating route without any hills, as it's not called Castellón de La Plana for nothing.
