The event, organized with a festive and citizen-focused format, featured 14 information stands, 23 folklore performances, craft exhibitions, a parade through the city center, and a popular paella to conclude. The Councilor for Social Coexistence and Interculturality, Vicent Sales, attended the event accompanied by councilors Sergio Toledo, Paco Cabañero, and Clara Adsuara.
Sales highlighted that Castelló "has once again shown that it is a diverse, open city capable of building bridges between cultures." The councilor emphasized that the event united "the more practical side, with consular services, and the more human side, with culture, music, and the encounter between neighbors of different backgrounds."
The consular table parade started from Ribalta Park and traversed some of the main streets in the center of Castelló, passing through Puerta del Sol and returning along Rey Don Jaime Avenue to finish back at the starting point. Music, folklore, and gastronomy marked a day designed to showcase the cultural diversity present in Castelló.
The councilor praised "the great response from the participating consulates, associations, and collectives," who contributed to making the day a "celebration of diversity" and a display of the cultural richness that is part of the city.
Sales also recalled that Castelló's consular table allows for stable work between the City Council and the consulates, facilitating institutional coordination and bringing the administration closer to residents of foreign origin. "We want Castelló to be a city that accompanies, listens, and offers close support to those who have chosen to live here," he stated.
The councilor concluded that events like this reinforce the idea of a city that is "open, inclusive, and proud of its diversity," where every culture adds value and where coexistence is experienced in the streets, neighborhoods, and shared spaces.
