The Magdalena festivals, declared of International Tourist Interest, attracted public attention with a delegation of 70 representatives who brought the essence of this celebration to FITUR. Additionally, the Children's Gaiata of the City excelled as a symbol of these festivities.
Miralles emphasized the interest sparked by the 2026 eclipse, presented alongside science communicator Javier Santaolalla, as a unique opportunity to break the seasonality of tourism. "FITUR has allowed us to reaffirm Castellón as a destination full of opportunities, ready to offer unforgettable experiences to visitors," she concluded.
