CALPE - Costa Blanca

Calpe is located 70 km north of Elche Airport, Alicante. The city is protected by the large cliff Peñón de Ifach, 332 meters above sea level, an impressive sight wherever you are. Calpe is known for its beautiful nature, mighty cliffs and pristine beaches. On both sides of the cliff there are elongated beaches with golden sand and calm water. Long beach walks run along the beaches that are hailed with the Blue Flag for its beauty and water quality. It is also wheelchair accessible. You will have the opportunity to visit the beaches and walk down the boulevard during your stay. At the foot of the cliff is the harbor, which has several seafood restaurants. The wonderful Mediterranean climate makes it ideal to enjoy nature and outdoor activities all year round.

The former fishing village is today divided into an older part with small alleys, restaurants and shops and a more modern part with shops and many restaurants. The city provides an excellent combination of both history and modernity. Of the 29,600 inhabitants of Calpe, more than 60% are foreign nationals who have been integrated into Spanish life.

At “mediodía” (in the middle of the day) the Spanish people have the main meal of the day. After that, they often enjoy a siesta until 17.00 to rest before returning to work. In the evening at 19.30 the restaurants open again for an evening meal.

Las Salinas de Calpe is a salt lake that in the 19th and 20th centuries accounted for Calpe’s salt production. Salt and fishing were the key to the city’s economy. Salt was a necessity for preserving food, especially fish. At different times of the year you can see a large number of migratory birds, especially flamingos in the lake. There is a hiking trail that surrounds the lake.

We adapt all our excursions to the groups we have on site and our excursions can be adapted for wheelchairs.
