Peñíscola Castle

Why go

The fortress setting explains why this headland was defensible, while views from the upper levels place the old streets between two stretches of coast. The castle is more rewarding when combined with a slow approach through Peñíscola’s lanes. Allow for the uphill route and exposed conditions.

What to look for

• The medieval stone rooms.
• Views over the old town and sea.

Useful to know

• Climb through the old town before entering so the fortress’s position becomes clear.
