The Spanish city of Calpe on the Costa Blanca is best known for its particularly high mountain Peñon de Ifach and a long coastal area with many golden sandy beaches and beautiful bays.
Calpe has two large and wide city beaches along both sides of the Ifach with a boulevard along it for a lovely stroll or to sit on a terrace. They received the blue flag for their environmental quality and excellent services.
Calpe has a Mediterranean climate which means that it is sunny almost all year round and there is little rain. This means that your stay in Calpe is pleasant at any time of the year. Because when the sun shines, it quickly becomes pleasantly warm, even in winter.
