    Taking this free tour with Vicente was a fantastic decision. He explained everything perfectly, keeping a pleasant pace so we didn't miss a single detail. Despite the wealth of information and history he shared about Castellón, it wasn't at all tedious or dense; on the contrary, he made it entertaining and accessible for everyone. He was very attentive to the group and also gave us some great recommendations for the rest of our stay. 100% recommended!
