Peñíscola has been acting as a film set for more than a century, and the tourist office has turned it into a walking route: fourteen numbered stops, from the promenade to the Sierra de Irta, each with the titles that were filmed there. The map can be downloaded from the Peñíscola Turismo website or requested at the office. These are real filming locations, not sets: what you see is the wall, the squares and the coast that appear on screen. The five Game of Thrones stops The sixth season of Game of Thrones was filmed here in 2015, and the map marks five stops with the series, all inside the wall: 4 · Paseo de Ronda, the path along the wall that looks over the port. 5 · Plaza de Santa María, beside the church. 7 · Rampa de Felipe II, the stone ramp that goes down to the Parque de Artillería; it also appears in El Cid. 8 · Parque de Artillería, the gardens and bastions beneath the castle, with visiting hours. 9 · Portal Fosc, the vaulted passage that was the only entrance by land; it is also a set for El Cid. The rest of the route The other stops come from other shoots: the North beach of El Cid (1961), with Charlton Heston and Sophia Loren; the South beach, the port, the Sea Museum, the lighthouse and the Plaza de Armas of Calabuch (1956), by Berlanga, and of París Tombuctú (1999), also by Berlanga; and Chiringuito de Pepe (2014) almost throughout the town. La Porteta and the Bufador are from Los corsarios del Caribe and El día nunca por la tarde. Stop 14 is the Sierra de Irta, where series such as Tramontana and El barco were filmed. How to do it The map gives an hour on foot. Start at stop 1, on the North beach next to the tourist office, enter through the Portal de Sant Pere and go round the old town along the paseo de ronda, the Plaza de Santa María and the Rampa de Felipe II. The map reminds you that the Papa Luna castle has also been the setting for many shoots: go in when you finish the Parque de Artillería, which is next door. The tourist office also has a recipe guide, "Plato de cine" (Film Dish), with dishes inspired by these films. There are stairs and slopes in the old town: with a pushchair, a baby carrier is better. If you prefer a stroll round the town without the film thread, see the old town and walls. ## Cómo llegar y contacto - Coordenadas: 40.3588, 0.4068 ## Cerca de aquí - [Peñíscola Old Town and Walls](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/valencian-community/peniscola/things-to-do/peniscola-old-town-and-walls), a 28 m - [Pirate Trail and Adventure Trail with Children](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/valencian-community/peniscola/things-to-do/pirate-trail-and-adventure-trail-with-children), a 56 m - [Papa Luna Castle](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/valencian-community/peniscola/things-to-do/papa-luna-castle), a 69 m - [El Raconet de Ca Deu](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/valencian-community/peniscola/where-to-eat/el-raconet-de-ca-deu), a 81 m - [El Bufador](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/valencian-community/peniscola/things-to-do/bufador), a 116 m - [Boat Trip Along the Sierra de Irta Coast](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/valencian-community/peniscola/things-to-do/boat-trip-along-the-sierra-de-irta-coast), a 283 m - [Boat Trip Around the Peñíscola Rock](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/valencian-community/peniscola/things-to-do/boat-trip-around-the-rock), a 283 m - [Independent Kayaking from the Playa Sur, next to Peñíscola Port](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/valencian-community/peniscola/things-to-do/kayak-from-the-port), a 371 m ## Consejos ### Download the map first On the Peñíscola Turismo website it is a PDF; with it on your phone you follow the numbering without getting lost. ### Do the old town early In summer, by mid-morning the streets of the rock fill up and the photo of the Rampa de Felipe II comes out with people in it. ### Finish at the castle The map leaves it out of the numbering, but it is the logical finale: it sits above the Parque de Artillería. ## Preguntas frecuentes ### What from Game of Thrones was filmed in Peñíscola?
