Peñíscola Old City Streets

Skirting the peninsula along the ramparts, I entered the narrow streets of the old town. The city has retained its 17th-and 18th-century buildings, and the width of the streets is clearly affected by the limited space of the fortress walls.

There are restaurants, taverns and bars at every turn. During the holiday season, it is lively until late in the evening. At the end of December, there are few tourists.

I was surprised at first that all the restaurants and cafes were closed, but when I looked at my watch, I realized that it was siesta time.

Among the many souvenir shops selling ordinary goods, my attention was drawn to a showcase with amazing products carved from wood.

Special attention should be paid to the original signs.

The province of Castellon has been famous for its ceramic tiles since the time of Moorish rule, and it is only natural that many houses are decorated with ceramics, and you can find whole paintings of glazed tiles.

On some houses you can see images of saints, patrons of families living in these houses.
