Both of our properties are in Calpe
of Costa Blanca. Calpe is easily
accessible from two major airports - Alicante
(50 min drive) and Valencia (70min drive). It
is an easy motorway journey to Calpe and there
are services on the way for a break if necessary.
Calpe itself is a lovely and friendly resort
at the southern end of the northern Costa Blanca.
It boasts two fabulous long sandy beaches extending
out along curved bays from either side of the
famous Peñon de Ifach. This is an enormous
rock that has become the symbol of Calpe and a
famous landmark on the Costa Blanca. The seafront
promenade is lined by hotels and apartment blocks
while low-rise residential complexes and villas
lie on the gently sloping hills surrounding the
town. There is a yachting marina and a fishing
port where you can sample the day's catch at one
of the many seafood restaurants opposite the port.
Calpe also has a charming old town with a Moorish
quarter, narrow streets and castle ruins. Although
Calpe is very popular with international tourists,
it still manages to keep its Spanish and friendly
charm.
If you have children, it will be easy to keep
them entertained during their holidays. About
20 min drive from Calpe - towards Benidorm, you’ll
find the recently built theme park – Terra
Mitica and Terra Natura. In Benidorm itself, you
can visit Mundomar where you find a marina and
exotic animals. Almost next door is Aqualandia,
a water park that is bound to be one of the headlines
of your holiday.
