Calpe is a town surrounded by culture with a small but charming old quarter which conceals countless treasures, since thanks to its strategic position Calpe has over the years been settled by numerous civilisations, as reflected in the town's architectural remains.
A place filled with culture and beauty in which to breathe in the peace and quiet of its setting. A palatial townhouse built on the orders of Vicente Gadea which previously served as a UNESCO International Music Centre, attracting all manner of visitors.
The Beachfront Promenade along Poniente beach in Benidorm was recently redesigned courtesy of Carlos Ferrater and Xavier Martí Galí.
The town of Calpe has a long-standing tradition of fishing and watersports, above all sailing. A pleasant walk down by the shoreline begins on the busy "Infanta Elena Promenade", stretching some two kilometres, running past Playa Arenal-Bol beach as far as the beautiful fishing port.
Peaceful, narrow alleyways, whitewashed houses which in days gone by were protected by a solid city wall, an imposing church with its distinctive blue domes and impressive views of the coastline, revealing in the distance the Peñón de Ifach in Calpe.
Altea, with the Mediterranean Sea alongside, boasts a delightful new promenade running the length of the coastline as far as the fishing port.
