Peñiscola and Sierra Dírta are situated on Castellon´s Costa Azahar, one of Europe´s top quality tourist destinations. The tourist office in the town is well stocked with local information and the staff are extremely helpful. You will also find a box of leaflets and a book about Peñiscola in the apartment. Peñagolosa is the highest mountain in the province. Its forests, rivers, gorges and fine sandy beaches can be enjoyed all year around because of the mild climate.
As well as enjoying a family seaside holiday, the area lends itself to sport. The Panoramica de Sant Jordi sports complex and the Costa Azahar golf circuit can be accessed easily. In addition the Costa Azahar Golf Club is just half an hour´s drive from Peñiscola.
The town itself is steeped in history and a visit to the old castle part of the town is a must. Film buffs will recognize the castle as the very same one used to film El Cid. This old quarter now boasts many small, romantic bars and restaurants.
