Below, we will explore how this town is promoting its culinary offerings and its action plan to tackle climate change – aspects that make Oropesa del Mar an even more attractive place to live and visit.
Boosting gastronomic tourism
Oropesa del Mar Town Council has allocated €45,000 to commission consultancy and technical advisory services, with the aim of enhancing its culinary offering.
This investment highlights the municipality’s commitment to promoting its traditional cuisine, based on local produce and the healthy Mediterranean diet. This approach not only guarantees the authenticity of the culinary offering but also supports local producers.
“Castellón Ruta de Sabor” quality mark
The Castellón Provincial Council promotes the “Castellón Ruta de Sabor” brand, which plays a crucial role in promoting high-quality local products. This certification ensures that the region’s agri-food products meet strict quality standards, making them more appealing to both residents and tourists.
Creation of the “Gastronomic Tourism” Product Club
Structuring the gastronomic offering inOropesa del Mar
To bring together and give a clear focus to its gastronomic offering for tourists, Oropesa del Mar proposes the creation of the “Gastronomic Tourism” Product Club. This club will help to organise the municipality’s culinary offering, promoting the authenticity and quality of locally sourced produce.
Gastronomy has become a major driver of tourism in Spanish destinations, and Oropesa del Mar is well placed to capitalise on this trend.
Benefits for the local economy
The creation of this club will not only attract more tourists but will also boost the local economy. Encouraging the consumption of local produce will benefit both the agricultural and fishing sectors, creating an economy that is less seasonal, more sustainable and more resilient.

Oropesa del Mar Town Council has also launched a tender to contract consultancy services for the drafting of the Climate and Sustainable Energy Action Plan (PACES).
This initiative forms part of the municipality’s commitment to sustainability and the fight against climate change, aligning with European and national energy and environmental objectives.
Objectives of the PACES
PACES is an essential strategic tool for developing local policies that promote:
- The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Through this plan, Oropesa del Mar aims to make a significant contribution to the transition towards a more sustainable and resilient development model.
