Peñíscola, Castellón

Peñíscola is a fortified town in the North end of the province of Castellón, Spain, joined to the mainland just by a strip of land (hence its name, an evolution on the Latin peninsula). Home to some film productions in the 50s, it has regained some international exposure thanks to Game of Thrones (Peñíscola served as location for Meereen in the sixth season of the series).
