Tourism
The town of Peniscola is characterized by its medieval castle, which juts into the shimmering Mediterranean Sea, remaining surrounded by its ancient walls and the sea on almost every side. In fact Peniscola is often referred to as the city on the sea as it is connected to the mainland only by a narrow strip of land.

To the south, the small beaches are bordered by cliffs and coves and are a popular area for diving. The attraction for this small town is so obvious, being a place of aesthetic beauty, and at the same time dramatic location that offers many miles of white sandy beaches and a multitude of facilities.
