The vehicle was found ‘engulfed in flames’ on the road connecting Villaquiran de los Infantes with Los Balbases.
Locals in Villaquiran called in the authorities after seeing smoke billowing into the sky.
Police officers arrived to find the car, which had a Castellon licence plate, completely torched.
The body discovered in the boot was ‘completely unrecognisable’, said police, who could only say it was ‘likely to be a man’.
It is not yet known whether the victim was driving the car or how he ended up in the boot.
The vehicle was not reported stolen and its owner has not been reported missing.
The Guardia Civil is still trying to locate said owner, who is of foreign origin.
