Peniscola Tour

At 9 am we'll meet at the Tourist Office in Benicassim and hop on a minibus to leave for our destination: Peniscola. The road trip will take 40 minutes.

We'll continue through the streets of Peniscola, admiring sites like the Casa de las Conchas and the church of Santa Maria. Our last destination will be the Sea Museum, where we will learn about the seafaring tradition of this town.
