Some towns like Venice in Italy, Cádiz in Spain and Dubrovnik in Croatia do have a seaside location which makes them utterly attractive. Peñiscola do also have a very good location. When in the old town, you have sea almost at all sides. The old town is a mix of Andalucian "white town" and Cádiz (a very good combination!). Outside the old town are plenty of modern and unattractive hotels to be found. An alternative is to stay in lovely Morella, 80 km inland of Peñiscola or in Tortosa, 70 km north east, in Catalonia.

You probably have heard about Hannibal. In a war against the Romans (Sagunt belonged to the Romans), Sagunt was totally destroyed by Hannibal and the inhabitants were killed. Today Sagunt offers the remains of a huge fortress, an amphitheatre (partly restored) and several other interesting buildings. The accommodation alternatives in Sagunt doesn't knock our sock off! But Valencia is just 30 km away.
