Excursion to Peñíscola from Valencia

Peñiscola, located on the north coast of the Valencian Community, a destination famous for its impressive Templar Castle where some scenes from the sixth season of Game of Thrones were shot and also called Papa Luna Castle, because it is the papal seat of Benedict XIII of Avignon.

The old, walled town of Peñíscola is nestled in a rocky peninsula, originally linked to the land only by a sandy isthmus (now built up)
