About Calpe
Calpe sits close to the Rock of Ifach on a hill rising up from the last spurs of the Sierra Bernia, a geographical marvel that provides access to the northernmost towns of Alicante's Marina district. lt is an authentic tourist site, with a coastline boasting sandy beaches and cliff faces in some areas, also the salt sea give to the town a special flavor.

Next to the seafront promenade are the remains of an ancient fish salting factory from Roman times.
Calpe's fishing port comes alive with hustle and bustle as the afternoon fish auction draws near.
On the Restaurant terraces the costumers have the possibility to try some of the fresh local shellfish. 
In the old town center are some points of interest to visit.
