The town of Vinaroz is located on the Mediterranean coast in the autonomous community of Valencia, close to the mouth of the River Senia. In its area are ancient ruins, charming fishing villages, attractive towns and the city of Valencia itself, all easily accessible with cheap car hire in Vinaroz.

Although its ancient shipyards have long disappeared, the maritime history of Vinaroz is re-enacted through its large fishing fleet which trawls for the famous local langoustine prawns. Daily, waterside auctions are held for this harvest from the sea, and harbourside restaurants serve the day’s catch in varied and delicious dishes.

The town dates from the 14th century, and has many interesting buildings. The exceptional Renaissance-Gothic church of Mare de Deu de l’Assumpcio resembles a castle and overlooks the sea, and the Plaza San Agustin holds the remnants of an ancient and primitive Augustine priory, now used as the town’s auditorium.

Shopping is fun in Vinaroz, with a pedestrian precinct, old-fashioned service and an open market. For more upscale retail therapy, head for Valencia after arranging your car rental in Vinaroz. Back in town, a stroll round the marina followed by a leisurely meal of assorted seafood and local wine should do nicely.

Car hire in Vinaroz lets you plan daytrips all over this lovely region. Unspoilt bays, fine sand beaches and crystal-clear water line the Vinaroz sea coast, with small fishing villages and pretty seaside resorts waiting to welcome you. Further afield is the magnificent Parc Natural del Delta de l’Ebre.
