Have you arrived in Peñíscola and the rain has surprised you? Do not worry! Although we are used to the Mediterranean sun, there are also cloudy days… and that does not mean you cannot enjoy your getaway. At Hostal Xulos, we give you the best ideas to make the most of your visit even when the sky is overcast.
1. Visit the inside of the Papa Luna Castle
Rain is a perfect excuse to tour the Castle of Peñíscola at your own pace. With its imposing walls and rooms full of history, this ancient Templar bastion and papal residence is an ideal plan to stay indoors and learn something new.
2. Explore the Museum of the Sea
Located next to the old town, the Museum of the Sea is small but charming. It will help you learn about Peñíscola’s relationship with fishing, the Mediterranean, and seafaring life. A quick and educational visit that you can combine with a short walk around the area.
3. Relax in a charming cafe
The old town is full of cozy cafes and tea rooms where you can take shelter from the rain while enjoying a coffee, an herbal tea, or a homemade cake. There is nothing better than listening to the rain from a warm place with sea views.
4. Taste the local gastronomy
Take advantage of the day to do a gastronomic tour: arroz del senyoret, suquet de peix, fideuà, seafood… Many restaurants offer quality menus where you can enjoy the local cuisine indoors. A delicious plan to beat the bad weather!
5. Treat yourself in a local shop
Peñíscola has shops with typical products, crafts, and souvenirs that are worth visiting without rushing. From traditional wines and sweets to handmade items, you can take a piece of the city home in your suitcase.

At Hostal Xulos, we provide everything you need so your getaway is perfect, rain or shine. Our location near the center allows you to move around comfortably without having to travel far.
