Perched on the Sea: The Castle of Peñíscola ✨

Perched on the Sea: The Castle of Peñíscola ✨ Peñíscola is a spectacular coastal town in Spain's Castellón province, famous for its magnificent medieval castle perched on a rocky headland that juts into the Mediterranean Sea. Known as the "Gibraltar of Valencia," its breathtaking fortress and historic old town are surrounded by pristine beaches. The castle, which once served as a papal residence, offers incredible panoramic views. Peñíscola's unique charm, with its winding cobblestone streets, whitewashed houses, and vibrant blue waters, has made it a popular filming location, including for Game of Thrones. Tips 🗺️ * The Pope Luna's Castle: Explore the stunning Castillo del Papa Luna. The views from the top are unmatched, and the history is fascinating. * Explore the Old Town: Wander through the charming streets of the historic center. Don't miss the picturesque lighthouse and the Bufador, a natural blowhole. * Beaches: Relax on the long, sandy beaches like Playa Norte or the more intimate coves like Cala del Moro. * Enjoy Seafood: Peñíscola is a fishing port, so the local seafood is a must-try.
