Next, we'll see the bufador, a natural opening between the rocks and the sea, which has become a tourist attraction.

We'll continue strolling through Peniscola, admiring its corners and iconic buildings, including the Casa de las Conchas and the church of Santa Maria. Our final destination will be the Sea Museum, where we'll learn about the local seafaring tradition.
