Peníscola/Peñíscola's Absolute Essentials

Peníscola is defined by its 13th-century Templar castle, famously the residence of Antipope Benedict XIII. The medieval old town sits on a rocky peninsula connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of sand. Key sites include the Bufador, a natural rock tunnel where seawater sprays through, and the Sierra d'Irta Natural Park, which houses the Torre Badum watchtower and secluded beaches like Platja del Russo. The coastline features the expansive Platja Nord and the historic parish church of Mare de Déu del Socors.
