About the location
Calpe Rock: Calpe with its about 13 000 habitants is known for its rock called the Penon de lfach. This massive rock has been inspiring people from everywhere to come and enjoy the nearly perfect view around the bays and the Costa Blanca. It can be reached either by the A-7 highway or the N-332 national road, which I would recommend using. The national road really gives you the kind of holiday feeling as it leads you to Calpe along the coastline up from Alicante. We have many walkers staying in the property due to the fantastic location. Also renown for the cycling clubs in the area. The two Blue-Flag beaches are long white and sandy with lots of restaurants, bars and children's play areas. Here you can find the famous spectacular Calpe Rock rising 332m high which dramatically divides the two beaches. There are many other bars and restaurants in Calpe and nearby offering varied top quality local and international cuisine that cater for every taste (Greek, Dutch, German, Belgian, Chinese, Japanese.
There is a consum supermarket at the top of the road with Spanish tapas bars aswell
Sightseeing in Calpe: The two churches of Calpe are certainly worth a visit. Close to each other, the Iglesia Antigua and the church Senora de las Nieves are both located in the center of Calpe. Built in the 15th century, the old church had been reconditioned many times over the past centuries, as the city had been attacked by pirates many times.
Calpe's archaeological museum can be found just opposite at the plaza de la villa showing various findings of the 4th until the 8th century. Alongside you find ruins of the Romans and the ruins of the Bano de la Reina, together with rests of an old tower, the Torreon de la Peca. If you are further interested in local culture, you should visit the museo fester in Calle Jose Antoni which explains the local Calpe fiesta Moros y Cristianos and its traditions. The Calpe tourist information at the Avenida Ejercitos Espanoles can be reached passing through the streets of Calpe.
Calpe Beaches: Calpe's two main beaches, the Cantal Roig and the Playa Arenal are widely known for its fine sand. Together with the other two beaches, la fossa and the bay of Gasparet which also belongs to the city, Calpe offers many kilometres of excellent swimming and surfing possibilities and is fantastic for the young and elderly alike. There are diving schools and also kite surfing.
