Benicassim (Benicasim) is located on the Costa del Azahar and is one of Eastern Spain's most important tourist resorts. Since the 19th Century, people have been coming to Benicassim for its wonderful climate, clear blue seawater and beautiful sandy beaches. It was in the 1960s though that Benicassim rose to fame as one of the leading lights of Spain's tourist revolution. Today, Benicassim is a fantastic place in which to own Spanish property, whether it be as a holiday home or as income property.
Benicassim has a long and contorted history. It was founded by the Moors in the 10th century, and then taken over by James I "The Conqueror" in the 13th Century. Around the town there are many historical buildings and monuments dating back to this period, as well as other historical Spanish property that traces the town's history up until the modern era.
In the last 40 years or so, Benicassim has been extensively expanded and developed. The old town of course still remains, along with its older-style Benicassim property. Around this ancient heart and along the beachfront new hotels, apartment blocks and villa complexes have arisen, including some luxury Benicassim property developments offering exclusive villa in Spain type properties.
