Wander through the historic old town and Templar castle of Peñíscola, stroll along the promenade in Benicàssim, enjoy the beaches of Oropesa del Mar, uncover hidden coves in Alcossebre, or venture into the Parc Natural de la Serra d'Irta, one of the few pristine coastal stretches in the Mediterranean.
