Places to see in ( Peniscola - Spain )
Peníscola or Peñíscola, anglicised as Peniscola, is a municipality in the province of Castellón, Valencian Community, Spain. Peniscola is located on the Costa del Azahar, north of the Serra d'Irta along the Mediterranean coast. Peniscola is a popular tourist destination.
Peniscola, often called the Gibraltar of Valencia, and locally as The City in the Sea, is a fortified seaport, with a lighthouse, built on a rocky headland about 220 feet (67 m) high, and joined to the mainland by only a narrow strip of land (Peníscola is a local evolution of Latin peninsula). The history of the place goes back to the Iberians. Later the town became Phoenician, named Tyreche, then Greek, under the name Chersonesos (meaning peninsula). It was next captured by the Carthaginians under Hamilcar Barca; legend has it that this is the place where he made his son Hannibal swear an oath that he would never be a friend of Rome.
The present castle was built by the Knights Templar between 1294 and 1307. In the fourteenth century it was garrisoned by the Knights of Montesa, and in 1420 it reverted to the Crown of Aragon. From 1415 to 1423 it was the home of the schismatic Avignon pope Benedict XIII (Pedro de Luna), whose name is commemorated in the Castell del Papa Luna, the name of the medieval castle, and Bufador del Papa Luna, a curious cavern with a landward entrance through which the seawater escapes in clouds of spray.
The castle where Benedict lived from 1417 until his death in 1423 was restored, improved and new walls were added in 1960 when Anthony Mann's film El Cid was partially filmed there. The town and castle of Peníscola played the role of Valencia. The castle is now a popular tourist attraction and the beaches and surrounding area are a popular family holiday resort.
Peniscola hosts an annual comedy film festival that draws Spanish and foreign actors and filmmakers, and features screenings in historic venues. That the festival celebrates comedy is a natural fit; the city was the backdrop for Luis García Berlanga's comedic masterpiece Calabuch.

Spain - Peniscola
Yes, that is the name of this lovely town on the Mediterranean just north of Valencia, with a labyrinth of narrow winding streets and white houses. In 1961, Hollywood blockbuster El Cid was filmed in Peniscola. On top of the hill is a castle Castell del Papa Luna built on the foundations of an Arab fortress. It is named after Pedro de Luna, who was elected Pope Benedict XIII during the Great Schism that split the Catholic Church at the end of the 14th century. Although he was deposed by the Council of Constance, he continued to proclaim his right to papacy earning him the title papal pretender.

Mike Turpie plays on the battlements of Peniscola Castle, on the Mediterranean coast. A fantastic setting, stuffed with history of the Moors and the Knights Templar, which was used as the location for the film El Cid. Mike accompanied Scots Music Group's band, Ceilidh Caleerie, on their trip to Spain. Band members can be seen milling about during their break - what a place to play!

CAMPING LOS PINOS AND PENISCOLA. Spain, Motorhome Junkies
We have recently stayed at this small family run Campsite in Peniscola northern Spain ( Great pool and a welcome break from the road. Not expensive (13 euros per night including electricity)The real treat for us was a short bike ride into Peniscola. The town is typical of many resort towns, restaurants, bars fast food etc. The treat is the castle perched on a rock which dominates this once small fishing village. It reminds me of Altea in Spain where we lived for a while with it's cobbled streets and small passages packed with artisan shops.This is well worth a day out. Enjoy.
Xivert Castle near Peniscola Spain
Xivert Castle is somewhat abandonned. It's a shame - it's beautiful - set atop a wooded hill with fantastic views over the orchards. It's a bit out of the way - between Valencia and Barcelona but off the beaten track. Most of the information about it is in Spanish. When we went, we had the place to ourselves. Renovations had started in around 2000 but had run out of funds. I wonder if I could buy this castle?
