Peníscola or Peñíscola (Spanish) is a municipality in the Province of Castellón, Valencian Community, Spain. The town is located on the Costa del Azahar, north of the Serra d'Irta along the Mediterranean coast. It is a popular tourist destination.
The city is situated on a tombolo, a rocky peninsula, originally connected to the land only by a sandy isthmus, which made it easy to defend it, although it occasionally flooded and was buried under sea water. Currently, due to the construction of the port and the buildings on the isthmus, this curious fact has disappeared. On the rock stands the old town, of which stands the castle of the Pope Moon, dividing the Peñíscola coast in two absolutely different halves.
There are abundant archaeological remains found in the vicinity of the tombolo, in the Poaig and Els Barrancs sites, which confirm the settlement of the area by some Iberians, as well as the relationship between these and the Phoenician merchants who arrived by sea. (7th century BC - vi BC). In Peñíscola settled, probably, the Phoenicians from Tire and shortly after the Greeks from Zacinto. Later, Carthaginians, Romans, Byzantines and Arabs would arrive by sea.
Peñíscola, a Greek and Roman colony, was an important port through which manufactured products entered (ceramics , fabrics , weapons , etc.) which helped colonizers exchange for the precious wine and olive oil of the Iberians that populated the coastal mountains.
Currently, the tourism sector represents the main economic engine of the city, and represents a permanent transformation of it. But this economic activity also presents some conflicts with the environment, although the City Council is creating new green areas for the enjoyment of families, tourists, etc.

Wow, I went googling pictures of Peñíscola from 1970s. The old town looks pretty much the same, from distance. And there's only one big building on the coast line. Incredible, I admire you being able to travel there in 1970s. You get to see how it changes over the years.
Nice place! Thanks one more time.

Excellent video. Thank you for getting acquainted with a beautiful place on the east coast of Spain. I enjoyed 'walking with you', and my legs don't hurt either :-) You remind me of wonderful moments during my last few holidays in Spain. Thank you once again.

Peñiscola is always crowded in summer. Actually this is the first time we've seen so few people here thanks to the V. I hope before next summer, we could get over with this situation. 🤞
Thank you so much for this video. I am here every year for 2-3 weeks for 10 years now but I haven’t visited it because of corona :(

Thanks for coming by. Every year for 10 years, wow, you're really a hardcore fan of Peñíscola. 👍 Hope you could visit it next summer.
Es precioso,yo estuve en septiembre 2021 y me encantó
Stunning location. So lovely to see on such a dreary day in the UK! Really nicely filmed, fantastic editing and a very interesting commentary. Nice to see filming in HD! Don't forget to visit us too and 👍🔔👈
Magnifique cette ville ..
Excellent video. Beautiful place.
Nice video. Lovely place, nice beaches, cozy little streets with a flood of restaurants. Since 2002 we live in Spain. Our holiday in Thailand was deleted and we stayed in Spain because of the corona situation. We had a relaxed holiday at L'Escala- Empuries (also a sweet little town) with friends and on the way back home to Altea- Costa Blanca we stayed a few days in Peñíscola. Worth coming back!
