Sagunto Tourist Information
Sagunto relates, through its noble stones, the history of the majestic and decisive cultures in the history of the Iberian Peninsula. A walk through the cultural and historical part of the town, filled with vestiges from past centuries, provides a trip through time, witnessing the importance of the historical and archaeological patrimony of the city. These circumstances have resulted in Sagunto having a wide range of cultural centres where the most distinguished archaeological treasures from the term are brought together. Its cultural character together with the agreeable Mediterranean climate and its thirteen kilometres of littoral, with beaches distinguished with the European blue flag, make the municipality a highly attractive tourist location.
Sagunto has four complete Sport Centres that among them are equipped with several athletics tracks, a gymnasium with bodybuilding facilities and indoor swimming pools, two pelota courts, two squash courts and five tennis courts. Those who prefer their sport as spectators can enjoy an exciting game of "pilota valenciana", the regional sport.
Moving north from its port, the Sagunto coast is a series of more than ten kilometres of beach interrupted only by the marina at Canet and its beach, Racó del Mar. The fine sand and gravel beaches furthest to the north, Corinto-Malvarrosa and Almardá, are extremely attractive with the occasional reedbed sustaining a considerable strip of sand dunes of great ecological value. The Port of Sagunto beach, to the south of Canet, is livelier and more urban in appearance although it is equally attractive with its fine sand and sand dunes well consolidated by vegetation. Summer facilities include the rental of windsurfs and, at the end of the day, the music in pubs and bars is an invitation to enjoy the hot summer nights.
The paella is Sagunto's most typical gastronomic dish, together with any other recipe in which rice intervenes. The local crops also determine the gastronomy of the municipality. The "fésols i naps" (a rice stew) and the chickpea pottage, are two constants permanently found on the menu in Sagunto. In winter, a stew made of meat with thistles, vegetables, potatoes, bacon and rib of pork is also typical. To snack, the local gastronomy offers the delicious "torta de tomate" (a pizza like base with tomato) or "empanadillas" (pasties filled with vegetables, hard-boiled egg and tuna). As for dessert, besides "pastisets de boniato" (sweet potato pastries), typical to the region are the "rosquillas de anis" and the "torta caldosa".
