Museo de la Pedra en Sec

Castellón Province


Stone for walls, sheep pens, huts and houses are all illustrated in this excellent village museum. Documentation is only in Valenciano, but it’s a very visual experience and the guides help out with explanations. If there's nobody here, ask in the tourist office opposite.
