‘Walking, enjoying and smiling’ is the tourism proposal that offers an alternative to rediscover the municipal term
Castelln City Council launches a new proposal to enjoy hiking and nature with a guide that includes five routes through the municipal term, adapted to different levels and designed for free. The programme, called ‘Walking, enjoying and smiling’, includes QR codes for each route that allow you to follow the itinerary.
“We launched this new proposal from the Municipal Tourism Board that allows us to combine nature and the heritage of Castelln, offering an alternative leisure and outdoor sport”, explained the councillor for Tourism, Heritage and green infrastructure, Pilar Escuder. “We value the natural resources of our city and provide neighbors and tourists a guide to choose the route that best suits their needs and concerns”, he stressed the same Councilor.
