The view of the city from here is also worth seeing, even if it is not quite as spectacular as the one from the north.

View of the silhouette of the castle of Peñíscola (Castillo de Papa Luna). A long time ago, the castle stood on a separate island and was not connected to the mainland. There are many small souvenir shops as well as restaurants and bars in the castle that invite you to linger.

The path along the sea leads partly over asphalt roads without a separate sidewalk, so you have to share the road with cars. The old town of Peñíscola is beautiful, however, and should definitely be visited!
