With an eclectic range of camping and caravan sites to choose from in Peniscola, there is something to suit everyone.
Peníscola: Valencia’s Mediterranean Jewel
Peníscola sits on a coveted stretch of the Spanish coast, boasting a 79 km² area that stretches 17 km along the shoreline.
Half of the municipality is devoted to dense forests, while the other half is planted with Mediterranean staples—orange trees, olive groves, and almond trees that rank the town as an agricultural pride.
Old Town & Castle‑Fortress
The ancient heart of the town crowns a 14th‑century fortress‑fortress. The fortress once sheltered Pope Benedict XIII, its imposing 64‑m rock rising above the azure sea.
From Island to Mainland
Peníscola is connected to the mainland by a narrowing sandbar. Historically, storms caused that sandbar to wash over, briefly turning the town into a lone island drifting amid the Mediterranean waters.
