Attraction Introduction
Peñíscola, located on the coast of the Valencian Region of Spain, is famous for its castle perched on a promontory and its white old town. The old town revolves around the castle where Pope Benedict XIII once resided, with cobblestone streets built along the slope and expansive sea views. The city combines medieval walled structures with Mediterranean beaches, making it one of the most representative coastal old towns in eastern Spain.
How to Get There
You can take a train from Valencia or Barcelona to Benicarló–Peñíscola station, then transfer to a bus or taxi. Driving via the AP-7 highway is more convenient. The old town requires walking uphill to enter.
Travel Tips
The old town has a steep slope. It gets very crowded with tourists in summer. The coastline receives intense sunlight.
