Description
Peníscola, often called the Gibraltar of Valencia, 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). Built originally between 1294 and 1307[1] by the Knights Templar, in the fourteenth century it was garrisoned by the Knights of Montesa, and in 1420 it reverted to the Crown. From 1415 it was the home of the schismatic Avignon pope Benedict XIII (Pedro de Luna), whose name is commemorated in the Bufador de Papa Luna, a curious cavern with a landward entrance through which the seawater escapes in clouds of spray.

In 2007 I was there for some days during holidays and enjoyed the place (visit of the castle, beach volleyball at the beach etc.). Perhaps you know that 1961 the film "El Cid" (with Charlton Heston) was made there.

Fabulous place and image Amigo I can imagine El Cid and his army riding along the beach at low tide!
