Calpe is a jewel of the Spanish Mediterranean. Once a small fishing village, it has transformed into a vibrant tourist destination. Its skyscrapers and apartment complexes testify to its popularity. It is famous for its stunning natural landscape, rich history, and vibrant leisure offerings.
This majestic rock formation that emerges imposingly from the sea is a natural wonder that captivates visitors with its magnificence and rich biodiversity. Its distinctive profile makes it an iconic landmark in the region, visible from many points along the Costa Blanca.
Despite its arid and rocky appearance, it harbors a surprising diversity of flora and fauna. Declared a Natural Park, its rugged slopes and cliff crevices are home to unique plant species. Likewise, seabirds find the rock an ideal nesting place, making it a paradise for birdwatchers.
For hiking enthusiasts, ascending the Peñón de Ifach is an unforgettable experience. The trail is not particularly long and features steep paths and stairs that wind through the rock. However, every step is worthwhile, as the panoramic views from the top are simply stunning. From there, you can contemplate the extensive coastline, the crystalline waters of the Mediterranean, and the picturesque town of Calpe at the foot of the rock.
The old town of Calpe, with its narrow, cobbled streets lined with traditional houses, is a must-visit. Another treasure that will not leave you indifferent due to its great archaeological importance is The Queen's Baths: the remains of an ancient Roman fish farm built over two thousand years ago. This saltwater lake is located in the city center, next to the Peñón. It is currently a beautiful natural area, very popular and with great tourist appeal, as it is home to pink flamingos, storks, and countless migratory birds.
Calpe is a quintessential beach destination. It stretches along 13 km of coastline, offering a variety of beaches, coves, and cliffs to explore. The two main beaches are:
Both are characterized by their long stretches of fine, golden sand. They have a promenade with restaurants, bars, diverse shops, and a lively nightlife.
Calpe enjoys a Mediterranean climate with warm summers and mild winters, ideal for sunbathing whenever you wish or practicing outdoor activities. Its Marina is the perfect place for sea enthusiasts and water activities.
Fishing was long the backbone of Calpe's economy. Even today, boats depart from the harbor at dawn to fish and return at dusk to take the catch to auction at La Lonja.
Calpe's cuisine reflects its Mediterranean environment, rich in flavors and traditions that have been passed down through generations. Its delicious cuisine is based on various rice dishes with fish and seafood.
The excellent climate of Calpe, its dreamy beaches, fresh fish and seafood, and lively nightlife combined with all the amenities you could desire and a beautiful natural landscape are just some of the reasons that make it an ideal place to live.
