Tour description

We'll immerse ourselves in an unforgettable tour of Peñiscola, where the mysteries of the past still live on.
We will delve into the legends of the Templars. We will learn about the

The story of Pope Luna: saint or heretic?

We'll discover the locations where scenes from films such as El Cid and the now legendary Game of Thrones series were filmed.

We will meet at the Portal de San Pedro. We will walk

around its imposing walls, where we will learn about the

defensive strategies that made Peñiscola an impregnable fortification, where, throughout its history, it could never be conquered by force.

We'll enter the historic center through the Portal Fosc, visit the Church of Santa Maria, the first Christian church after the conquest by Jaume I. We'll pass through the Artillery Park, enjoying panoramic views of the Sierra de Irta and its unique beaches, and then climb the castle. But not before visiting the Church of the Virgen de la Ermitana, patron saint of Peñiscola. We'll recount the story of Pope Luna in the Plaza de Armas in front of his emblematic statue. At the foot of the castle, we'll delve into the plots and mysteries of its builders, the most powerful order of all time, the Templars. During the descent, enjoying the sea views, we'll pass by the Casa de las Conchas (Shell House) to marvel at its charm. We'll visit the Museo de la Mar (Marine Museum) and conclude the tour at the famous Bufador (Bufador), which floods the peninsula with its magical whistling on stormy days.
