Calpe is a large, but traditional Spanish town that boasts many excellent shops, beaches, restaurants and bars. The Penon de Ifach is now a nature reserve with salt flats, unique vegetation, flamingos and a migrant bird population. The peak of the rock can be reached up a zigzagging track, which overlooks the working fish port and yacht harbour. Calpe also boasts two blue flag beaches, which offer extensive water sports facilities in high season. As well as the modern town, Calpe has a typically Spanish old town, which offers an excellent range of traditional bars and restaurants. There are many surrounding towns within an hours drive, all well worth a visit - Moraira, Altea, Javea and Benissa are a must - as is the beautifully preserved medieval village of Guadalest up in the mountains. Whether you want a quiet holiday or a fun-packed one there is something for everyone in and around Calpe.
