Peniscola (say Pen-yees-co-la)

My first brush with the Mediterranean! The sea was the blue I've always seen pictures of but never experienced in real life. Here I am!
This is the castle where the big beach battle scene from El Cid was filmed. It is the Castell del Papa Luna, built on the foundations of an Arab fortress in the late 13th century by the Knights Templar (thank you, Eyewitness Guides).
