Calpe or Calp is a coastal municipality located in the comarca of Marina Alta, in the province of Alicante, Valencian Community, Spain, by the Mediterranean Sea. It has an area of 23.5 km² and a population density of 990 inhabitants per square kilometre. The city lies at the foot of the Penyal d'Ifac Natural Park.
Playa Arenal Bol
Arenal-Bol beach stretches over a kilometer long, and it is one of the main beaches of Calpe. Located right in the center, it is popular with much of the city. Its urban promenade is lined with high-rise hotels and framed with the Penyal d’Ifac.
Playa del Cantal Roig
Cantal Roig beach is another one of Calpe’s central beaches. Located off of the port of Calpe and close to the famous Penyal d’Ifac, the beach is notable for its many surrounding restaurants and bars.
Playa de la Fossa
The beautiful Playa de la Fossa is one of the most beautiful beaches in the resort. This fine sandy beach offers unique bathing pleasure in a long bay with a wonderful view of the rock Ifach, the most important landmark of Calpe.
Old Town
Because of the constant threat from pirates and privateers in ancient coastal populations they moved away from the coast and often built walled enclosures and fortifications for protection.
One of the highlights of the Old town of Calpe is the Torreó de la Peça, located in the Plaza de la Vila, which was part of the double defensive wall with artillery that defended the city in the 15th century and currently houses the Museo del Coleccionismo.
The historic center of Calpe is already quite lively in itself, but if you want to see it more deeply, every Sunday there is a craft market where you can find not only handicrafts, but second-hand goods, bakery, sweets, plants, clothing, books, and organic vegetables.
Mercadillo Frutas y Verduras
Calpe’s Saturday mercadillo The weekly open-air fruit and vegetable market held in Calpe each Saturday
Puchalt street
Puchalt Street in the center of Calpe is one of the most photographed places in the city. The answer lies in the colorful stairs that climb the length of the street.
They are painted with the colors of the Spanish flag, so that when you view Puchalt Street straight on, it looks like one long flag. The stairs were built to protect from falls on this steep street back in the 1970s.
Parroquia Virgen De Las Nieves
The “Our Lady of the Snows” parish dates back hundreds of years, although documents on the church are scarce as they were all burned in various fires.
Las Salinas de Calpe
The salt flats in Calpe are located just outside the city, right next to the Penyal d’Ifac. The area was used to harvest salt until 1988, when it was set aside as an ecological preserve due to its important wildlife.
