The coastal resort of Peniscola lies at the
Northerly end of the Costa Azahar. Peniscola is a holiday resort
frequented mostly by Spanish and French holidaymakers but the budget airline
flights recently introduced to Valencia airport have made the area more
accessible to visitors from the U.K. Peniscola has a long promenade
lined with bars and restaurants and a good sandy beach. The old town
stands on a rocky headland overlooking the sea on all sides, like a
miniature island joined to the mainland by a thin strip of land jutting out
into the sea. Peniscola is very historic dating back well beyond
the time of the Romans. The castle on the headland featured in the
1960's film El Cid starring Charlton Heston. Peniscola old town
comes to life at night and is well worth visiting. The long promenade
now extends into the neighboring resort of Benicarlo. Walk to
the opposite end of the promenade and choose a seafood restaurant
overlooking the med as the sun is setting, an unforgettable experience.
