Benicarló half an hour away, the olive grove at home.
Estates with millenary olive trees in the inland Bajo Maestrazgo, 30 minutes from the beaches of Benicarló.
Benicarló is one of the most dynamic coastal cities in northern Castellón: beaches such as El Morrongo, a railway station, an active commercial fabric and market gardens famous for the artichoke with its own Designation of Origin. Together with Vinaròs and Peñíscola it forms the urban triangle of the Baix Maestrat coast.
Half an hour inland, the landscape changes: dry stone terraces, olive trees over a thousand years old and villages on a human scale. That is where Olive Soul is born — estates of more than one hectare with Passive House homes designed by Jaime Sanahuja, for those who want the coast close but silence at home.
Benicarló and its surroundings
Benicarló (Baix Maestrat, Castellón) has urban beaches such as El Morrongo and La Mar Xica, a railway station on the Barcelona-Valencia line and renowned market gardens producing the Benicarló Artichoke DO. From the Olive Soul estates, in the interior of the comarca, Benicarló is about 30 minutes away. Peñíscola is 10 more minutes along the coast.
An active coast, a serene interior
Beach and train in 30 minutes
Benicarló's beaches and railway station are half an hour from the estate. The coast as a service, not a routine: the sea when you want it, the olive grove when you come home.
Local pantry
The Benicarló artichoke DO, the Vinaròs fish market and the Maestrazgo olive oil: a zero-kilometre pantry between the sea and the mountains.
Heritage that cannot be replicated
Inland, the millenary olive trees of the Sénia Territory and the dry stone declared World Heritage by UNESCO. A setting impossible to reproduce on the coastline.
