Un paseo por el centro de Vinaroz, España // A walk through the centre of Vinaroz, Spain
Hola querido hiver.
La localidad costera de Vinaroz fue nuestro centro de operaciones durante nuestras últimas vacaciones. Como el clima no era propicio para disfrutar de la playa los planes culturales eran la mejor opción, así que una mañana dimos un buen paseo por el casco histórico.
El edificio que ves en las dos fotografías superiores es la Iglesia fortaleza de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción. La sencillez de sus muros exteriores guardan un bonito interior para el que dedicaré un post completo más adelante. Llaman la atención las pinturas que fingen construcciones arquitectónicas.
A sus pies transcurre la que fue carretera principal que unía Barcelona con Valencia, detalle que adivinamos porque han conservado uno de los letreros que lo indicaban.
Este banco bajo una marquesina de autobús me llamó la atención por su colorido diseño y me recordó a los que hay en el Parque Güell de Gaudí. Está justo en la acera frente a la iglesia.
Si rodeamos la iglesia encontramos este callejón solitario y que no me atrevería a recorrer de noche. Imagínate encontrarte con ese cofrade y su capirote entre las sombras. ¡Vaya susto!
El monumento nos recuerda la importancia de la Semana Santa en la localidad representando su pasado, presente y futuro. La escultura, de tamaño natural, fue realizada por el escultor Jorge Diez Fernández e inaugurada en 2013. (Datos obtenidos de una placa que tenía anexa)
Girando a la derecha llegamos a la plaza con la entrada principal de la iglesia y su portada. Frente a ella está el Ayuntamiento, construido en el siglo XVIII y del que solo destacan un par de escudos.
Cuando miramos hacia la izquierda los ojos se van sin remedio a la Casa Ángel Giner, edificio modernista que conserva su estructura original y que en sus locales acoge una tienda de moda.
El instinto nos lleva a seguir calle adelante. Es la calle Mayor, la principal arteria comercial del pueblo. Su actividad se potencia al ser una vía peatonal, ideal para pasear mirando escaparates. Avanzando unas decenas de metros encontraremos una calle a la izquierda donde vemos una original casa.
La calle Mayor desemboca en la Plaza de San Agustín, cuya parte central está llena de terrazas para sentarse a tomar algo y cumplir con una tarea muy española: ver y ser visto. El abrigo de los edificios que la circundan era perfecto en esa mañana ventosa.
A la izquierda vemos el Auditorio local que aprovecha lo que fue la iglesia del Convento de San Telmo. Este se situaba sobre el siguiente solar, ahora ocupado por el Mercado Municipal. Por cierto, si un día aterrizas por allí, el producto estrella de Vinaroz son las gambas. Más frescas, solo que las cojas tú mismo.
Y como en todo lugar costero, el principal sitio de reunión es el Paseo Marítimo, al que accedemos directamente desde la plaza. En esta parte eché en falta más sombra, quiero imaginar que en verano añaden toldos a esa estructura metálica, aunque no había debajo asiento alguno.
Es curioso encontrarse allí en medio un colegio. Si hubiera tenido que estudiar allí estoy segura de que no habría aprobado nada. A ver quién se iba a concentrar teniendo el mar como paisaje tras los cristales de las ventanas.
Al otro lado de la escuela sí que disponen de más zonas sombreadas y el paseo se alarga hasta casi perderse en el horizonte. Las vistas de la playa desierta no le restaban un ápice de belleza. Te dejo con ellas para que las disfrutes cuanto quieras y me despido.
Hasta la próxima publicación. Mientras tanto, ¡cuídate!

Hi, dear hiver.
The coastal town of Vinaroz was our centre of operations during our last holiday. As the weather was not favourable to enjoy the beach, cultural plans were the best option, so one morning we took a nice walk through the old town.
The building you see in the two photographs above is the fortress church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción. The simplicity of its exterior walls conceals a beautiful interior for which I will dedicate a full post later on. The paintings that pretend to be architectural constructions are striking.
At its feet runs the main road that linked Barcelona with Valencia, a detail that we guessed because they have kept one of the signs that indicated it.
This bench under a bus shelter caught my eye because of its colourful design and reminded me of the ones in Gaudí's Park Güell. It is right on the pavement in front of the church.
If we go round the church we find this lonely alley, which I wouldn't dare go down at night. Imagine coming across this brotherhood and his hood in the shadows - what a fright!
The monument reminds us of the importance of Holy Week in the town, representing its past, present and future. The life-size sculpture was made by the sculptor Jorge Diez Fernández and inaugurated in 2013. (Data obtained from a plaque attached to it)
Turning right, we reach the square with the main entrance to the church and its façade. In front of it is the Town Hall, built in the 18th century and of which only a couple of coats of arms stand out.
When we look to the left our eyes are drawn to the Casa Ángel Giner, a modernist building that has preserved its original structure and which houses a fashion shop.
Our instinct leads us to follow the street ahead. This is the main shopping street in the town. Its activity is enhanced by the fact that it is a pedestrian street, ideal for strolling around window shopping. A few dozen metres further on we find a street on the left where we see an original house.
The Calle Mayor leads to the Plaza de San Agustín, the central part of which is full of terraces where you can sit and have a drink and fulfil a very Spanish task: see and be seen. The shelter of the surrounding buildings was perfect on that windy morning.
On the left we can see the local Auditorium which uses what was once the church of the Convent of San Telmo. This was located on the next site, now occupied by the Municipal Market. By the way, if you happen to land there one day, the star product of Vinaroz is prawns. Cooler, just take them yourself.
And as in all coastal places, the main meeting place is the Paseo Marítimo, which can be accessed directly from the square. In this part I missed more shade, I would imagine that in summer they add awnings to that metal structure, although there was no seating underneath.
It's funny to find yourself in the middle of a school there. If I had had to study there I'm sure I wouldn't have passed anything. Who would want to gather with the sea as a backdrop behind the window panes?
On the other side of the school there are more shady areas and the promenade stretches until it almost disappears into the horizon. The views of the deserted beach did not detract from its beauty. I leave you with them for you to enjoy them as much as you like and I bid you farewell.
Until the next post. In the meantime, take care!

Saludos @palomap3, que hermoso lugar me encanta el paseo martimo y su peculiar diseño, estudiar cerca del mar debe ser genial y la excusa perfecta para no entrar a ciertas asignaturas je, je 🌷🌼🌸🌼💐
Feliz fin de semana!
Sí, es un pueblo bonito y la playa siempre es un destino en el que desconectar y renovar las energías. Desde luego que debe ser difícil resistir la tentación de no saltarse las clases, con las olas sonando de fondo. 😁 Feliz fin de semana para ti también. 🤗
Hi @palomap3, I feel like you've given me a tour of vinaroz with this post.
I love the view of the sea, the palm trees and the buildings. I noticed the buildings look alike.
Beautiful pictures by the way.
Aww I’m glad you liked it! Yes, it was a nice walk with interesting views. Thanks for your time reading and commenting. 🤗
You're welcome. I enjoyed reading it.
It looks like a lovely town, what strikes me the most is the lovely weather and beach! 😀
This day the weather was the same as in Peñíscola, sunny and windy. We didn’t had luck in that aspect but the temperature was nice, perfect for a walk. 😊
The pictures you shared in this post are amazing, I really enjoyed them. Moreover, the first picture shows a building with extraordinary architecture, very beautiful. Thank you for sharing 🤗❤
I’m happy to know you liked it, it’s fun to visit places with different plans available to enjoy. I love the architecture too, especially the modernist style. 🤗
La iglesia fortaleza de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción parece toda una joya arquitectónica, con esos interiores tan cuidados y esas pinturas que dan la sensación de construcciones. Me ha llamado mucho la atención esa carretera histórica que pasaba por sus pies, un verdadero viaje en el tiempo. ¡Muchas gracias por compartir esta agradable experiencia! Todas las fotos están hermosas!
La iglesia es una pequeña joya, por fuera su arquitectura es poco común. El interior es más acorde con su época de origen y lo compartiré más adelante. Me alegro de que te haya gustado este agradable paseo. 😃
A tremendous article!!!!... Applause!

Que hermosas fotografías, le hacen honor a esos lugares que nos compartes hoy. A mí me encanta el mar, así que me quedé hipnotizada con las fotografías de la playa, pensando que me hubiera encantado estudiar en ese colegio que está al frente.
Un abrazo.
Yo vivo lejos de la costa, por eso me gusta estar en la playa de vez en cuando, me trae una energía especial. Como no me gustan las aglomeraciones habituales de la temporada de vacaciones, siempre vamos fuera de esos meses y está todo tranquilo y con poco turismo.
Me alegro de que te hayan gustado las fotografías. 🤗❤️
