Peñíscola is an idyllic place to spend a few days, offering a perfect blend of family-friendly beach and cultural tourism. Peñiscola is a medieval city that extends out to sea, presided over by a superb Templar Castle in a fantastic state of conservation. This is surrounded by a maze of medieval streets that will even transport you to the Alpujarra Granadina at times, and where every step will surprise you with sights such as the unusual "Bufador" rock formation. Peñiscola is undoubtedly a perfect option with high-quality offerings to suit everybody, from the traveller who wants to enjoy long days of sunshine to those who want to discover a medieval city.

After the warm welcome we received from the inhabitants of Peñíscola following our visit at the end of August, we feel sure we will return sooner rather than later.
