Calpe
Spain
A geographical marvel
 One of the most beautiful
places in Alicante Province is Calpe Spain. Clean and quiet beaches,
mountains overlooking the sea, excellent weather, valleys and great
hospitality.
When you move around Calpe, you can´t
miss the great Rock
of Ifach (Peñon de Ifach), from its top everything seems possible.
Contemplating the rock is a real pleasure.
The Rock
of Ifach, a symbol of Calpe, rises in the sea up to 232 m high and 1 km
in length. It is a combination of elements, a mountainous
landscape with others as coastal enclave, where
the sea plays an important role.
Calpe is an ideal place for
nature fans. Nestled between
mountains on the seafront, it has high altitudes with abundant
vegetation
and rich wildlife, as well as a varied animal life.

Calpe Beaches Basically,
Calpe is a fishing village with over 11 km of
coastline by the Mediterranean Sea. There are
about 6 km of sandy beaches.
One of my favorites is "Playa
de la Fossa", with more than 1 km in length and with the blue
flag award, which ensure the quality you would expect from EU
standards. You can practice several water sports such as scuba diving.
Another
excellent beach is "Playa del Arenal", also with the blue flag. Both
beaches have fantastic facilities for visitors, such as
recreational and sport areas.
Other less popular
sandy beaches but worth to explore are El Bol, Molí, Morello,
Cantal Roig
and Calalga. If you are planning to scuba
dive or fishing you can choose between the coves of Les Basset,
Cantal Pla, baths Queen, Les Urquía and Cala Gaspar.

far too complicated.If
you rather want to take the train or bus to Calpe and rent a car once
