New8 hFree cancellationBy Valencia & Go

About this activity

Christmas Special: On November 27, depart Valencia at 1:30 PM for a special afternoon in Peñíscola and the planned 8 PM Christmas lights switch-on. Throughout December, depart at 10 AM to explore the town by day and see its festive lights after dark.

Meet us in Valencia and travel to Peñíscola, less than two hours away. With your guide, wander the old quarter and discover traces of Muslim, Roman, and Templar history along the town's ancient walls.

Start near the Sea Museum and admire the Renaissance fortifications built under Philip II. Follow narrow streets lined with shops to Casa de las Conchas and hear the story behind its shell-covered façade.

Then enter Peñíscola Castle, perched above the Mediterranean. Once the palace and library of Pope Luna, it is the town's most iconic landmark. Afterwards, enjoy free time by the beach to try local cuisine and take in the sea views.
