Christmas in Peñíscola becomes a magical experience every year, thanks to its carefully curated atmosphere, enchanting activities, and stunning setting: its city walls, its old town, its cobbled streets, and the sea as a backdrop. Here’s what you can’t miss this 2025 if you decide to celebrate the holidays in the city.
The Christmas lights will remain on from November 28th until the beginning of January, illuminating the streets, balconies, walls, and squares of the old town.
Strolling through the illuminated alleyways of the historic center—with the sea as a backdrop and the citadel walls gleaming—transforms Peñíscola into a fairytale setting.
The Peñíscola Christmas Market 2025 will open on November 28th in Plaza Santa María and the surrounding area. It will be open until December 14th.
The stalls offer crafts, Christmas decorations, gifts, local products, and unique items perfect for those looking for a special souvenir or a distinctive present.
The Christmas market’s ambiance—with its lights, illuminated streets, and the historic center as a backdrop—creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, ideal for a leisurely stroll, shopping, or simply soaking up the Christmas spirit.
In addition to the lights and the market, the Christmas season in Peñíscola is usually accompanied by events, concerts, shows, and activities for all ages.
Visiting the old town at night, admiring the illuminated castle, strolling along the city walls, and seeing the sea from the viewpoints with the lights in the background… all contribute to a romantic and peaceful plan that combines history, the sea, and Christmas.
It’s a perfect time for those seeking a quiet and different getaway: less hustle and bustle than in summer, quieter streets, mild weather—compared to inland areas—and the magic of the Christmas decorations.
If you’re planning a Christmas getaway, book accommodation in advance: December is a busy time, especially on weekends.
Bring warm clothes for the evenings by the sea: although Peñíscola has a Mediterranean climate, the nights can be cool.
Check market and activity schedules: although the lighting will be on until January, some stalls and events have specific schedules (market until December 14, for example).
Ideal for getaways as a couple, with family or with friends: the city offers varied plans —from romantic walks to a welcoming environment for children— that fit different travel styles.
