A Spanish coastal paradise
Known as ‘the city in the sea’, Peniscola is a Spanish coastal town boasting a striking setting. At the end of a long sandy beach, the rocky headland is ringed with medieval walls and topped by a splendid castle that juts into azure waters. Peniscola holidays are all about exploring this gorgeous area, its coastline and historic old town, criss-crossed by alleys and alive with restaurants and souvenir shops.
Sun lovers rejoice – this is a wonderful place to feel the sand between your toes, and this lovely stretch of coast features quiet coves and long beaches that slope gently into the sea. Behind the town you’ll find a nature reserve that can be explored on foot or bike, while its seafaring history is celebrated in the Museo del Mar. Wherever you roam on holidays to Peniscola, your eyes will keep coming back to the castle – a 13th-century fortress built by the Knights Templar.
