Why choose Peñíscola for your stay in Spain
Peñíscola is one of the main tourist hubs in the province of Castellón. The town immediately captivates visitors with its walled old town, declared a Historic-Artistic Site and a Site of Cultural Interest since 1972. Dominating the landscape from a rocky peninsula 65 meters above sea level, the Castillo del Papa Luna —a former Templar fortress that once served as the third papal seat in the world alongside Avignon and Rome— invites you to travel back in time through its walls, courtyards, and chambers. Getting lost in its narrow steep streets, discovering the Bufador —where the sea shows its full power during storms— or admiring the distinctive façade of the Casa de les Petxines are experiences that leave no visitor indifferent.
But Peñíscola is much more than history. Its long stretches of fine sandy beaches —such as the iconic Playa Norte, several kilometers long with spectacular views of the castle, or Playa Sur, a quieter area next to the harbor— blend seamlessly with the untouched coastline of the Sierra de Irta Natural Park. The local cuisine completes the experience with rice dishes, fresh fish, seafood, and produce from the Valencian orchard, enjoyed along the lively seafront promenade of Avenida Papa Luna or in the charming corners of the old town. In addition, Peñíscola is the first Spanish coastal destination to receive the Family Tourism Seal, ensuring infrastructure designed for all ages.
