\"Pe\u00f1\u00edscola<\/p>\n

Peniscola (Pen\u00edscola in Catalan, Pe\u00f1\u00edscola in Spanish) is a town with two well-distinguished parts: on the one hand a well preserved old town, crowned with a medieval castle on its top, and on the other an apartments hecatomb typical of the uncontrolled urban explosion that extends to along the beach.<\/span>\u00a0The magnetism of Peniscola, of course, in its old part.\u00a0<\/span>The castle of Pope Luna (XIII century, XVIth century fortification) is a jewel that reminded me in certain aspects to that of Edinburgh.<\/span>\u00a0But it is likely that it was above all because of the feeling of exhaustion for so much.<\/span>\u00a0In spite of that, it’s worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n

By the way, that the link of the castle with Scotland is not just an idea of \u200b\u200bmine.<\/span>\u00a0There is a plaque commemorating that Benedict XIII, Pope Luna, granted permission for the inauguration of Saint Andrews, the first university in Scotland (and which I was able to attend years ago for an English course).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Peniscola,Mereen,Game<\/p>\n

Not only the people of\u00a0Game of Thrones<\/em>\u00a0were seen around here.<\/span>\u00a0Some Spanish series, such as\u00a0El Ministerio del Tiempo<\/em>\u00a0(recommended) or\u00a0El Chiringuito de Pepe<\/em>\u00a0(I can not recommend it, once I saw three minutes and I got bored), or movies like\u00a0El Cid<\/em>\u00a0,\u00a0Tierra<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0Blink<\/em>\u00a0also experienced their earrings.<\/span>\u00a0More info here<\/a>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

The places where\u00a0Game of Thrones<\/em>\u00a0was filmed are, in general, public, and they had cars, fences (they were about to start local festivals) and \/ or posters in the middle, so the photos in those locations, those that lacked, in addition, all the elements of decoration, were totally absurd.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Peniscola,Mereen,Archerphoto,professional<\/p>\n

For the rest, we fell on the dates when the\u00a0Festival de la Chancla y la Tapa (<\/em>something like Flip-flops and tapa festival) <\/em>were held\u00a0in town.<\/span>\u00a0Although if you completed the circuit of bars you received an impressive prize, I must say that we were not able to complete such a challenge during our short stay.<\/span>\u00a0The tapas were good, without a doubt.<\/span>\u00a0But between there were many locals to visit and the titanic effort did not have a fair payment (if you had not noticed before the jocular tone about the prize, I reveal it here: a pair of flip flops is what they gave you), we simply could not accomplish the task.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are no crows, but owls and hawks<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Artillery Park is a garden attached to the castle where you suddenly find some owls and hawks.<\/span>\u00a0This is the Refuge of Raptors, which houses and exhibits birds raised in captivity or wounded until they are ready to be released.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"visiting<\/p>\n

Peniscola is, without a doubt, an interesting place to visit.<\/span>\u00a0Other sites that I like are\u00a0London<\/a>\u00a0, Barcelona,\u00a0Lisbon<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Bratislava<\/a>\u00a0.<\/span>\u00a0Is it the “L” essential for me to like a city?<\/span>\u00a0Actually, no: Vitoria, Madrid or Santiago also caught my interest.<\/span><\/p>\n

In case you’re wondering, I took these pictures with the Samsung NX500 that was a bit weird.<\/span>\u00a0She was not\u00a0feeling comfortable almost any 32GB card and she gets very silly.<\/span><\/p>\n
