Calpe

Calpe is an old fishing harbour and its most prominent landmark is the rock 'Penon de Ifach' that looms 383 metres up out of the sea behind the fishing port. Here visitors will find everything to make the holiday unforgettable such as cosy restaurants, discotheques, a cinema, lovely beaches and promenades, excursions into the mountains, coach trips, yacht charter (e.g. to Ibiza, Mallorca, Menorca). Sports facilities are to be found in Calpe itself and in the surroundings including tennis, riding, swimming, lido, boat hire, diving, fishing, wind surfing, parachuting, water skiing. Golf (9 holes) in Altea or San Jaime (8 km) and a yacht harbour in La Canuta. Because of its mild climate Calpe is very suitable for winter stays.
 

Calpe is the perfect base from which to enjoy this lovely part of the Costa Blanca. Apart from Calpe there are many places to visit along the coast including Moraira that has a marina and fishmarket, Javea that has a fine beach, a fishing harbour, restaurants and golf courses, Denia with some excellent shops on a beautiful tree lined main street, and of course Benidorm that boasts Aqualandia, Mundo Mar (Sea World) and now of course the new Disney style Terra Mitica theme park. Inland you will find the beautiful Jalon Valley and Bernia Mountain range plus caves, a safari park and waterfalls.
