Music lovers are advised to head to the Costa Azahar this week, as the sixth Hondarribia-Peniscola International Guitar Festival is set to begin on Thursday evening.

Running from March 20th to 23rd, the event will feature a series of concerts in the “incomparable setting” of the Salon Gotico at Papa Luna’s Castle, Communitat Valenciana reports.

Guitar players from all over the world will travel to Peniscola to demonstrate their mastery of an instrument which plays a major role in the musical and cultural heritage of Spain.

In addition, a series of guided walks around the pretty coastal town have been organised to coincide with the festival, meaning that newcomers to the area can explore “every delightful corner” of Peniscola between musical interludes.

The guitar festival and guided tours should provide both holidaymakers and local property owners with the perfect opportunity to get to know one of Castellon province’s most picturesque towns a little better.

Peniscola’s dramatic seafront fortifications mean that it is often referred to as the Gibraltar of Valencia.
