Staying in the old town area puts you right where you want to be, close to the market action and the medieval streets that make Peñíscola worth exploring. Try Casco Antiguo for the most atmospheric base, or Playa Norte if you prefer to be near the beach with easy access to the town.

Street markets in Peñíscola
The Peñíscola Street Market is the largest in town, with 25 stalls set up near the south beach on Avenida Akra Leuka every Monday morning from 09:00 to 13:00. The selection covers clothing, footwear, and handicrafts, and the location makes it easy to continue the morning with time on the beach or a walk up to the castle.
The Peñíscola Hippie Market runs weekly and focuses on handicrafts and jewellery, drawing a crowd looking for handmade and artisan goods rather than everyday clothing. It has a more informal atmosphere than the Monday street market.
The Peñíscola Moon Market is a weekly outdoor market dedicated to handicrafts. The evening or atmospheric setting suggested by the name distinguishes it from the daytime Monday market.
The Peñíscola Nighttime Market also runs weekly and combines handicrafts with jewellery stalls. Along with the Hippie Market, it reflects the strong artisan tradition in this coastal town. For more market options nearby, the Vinaròs and Benicarló markets are both within easy reach along the coast.
