A Day In Calpe: From The Mountains To The Beach!
Last time we visited Calpe to climb the Penyon D'Ifach we went under prepared. This time we're not going to make the same mistake. But while we are there we also want to explore the town and see some of the ancient roman stuff.

What Three Words Locations: Penyon D'Ifach: ///denser.slumped.scowls
I have booked a week in Calpe for October. Luckily I don't have the need to do the climb as I did it twice (94&95). First visit there was in 1978 as a 5 year old then almost yearly to the area until 86 so is a sentimental favourite holiday destination for me. Have only been once in 25 years so will see how much it has changed. Excellent video.

Hi Martin, So glad that you liked the video. I'm sure Calpe will have changed in the last 25 years, but hopefully the base essence will still be the same. Nostalgia can overcome anything. Enjoy your trip when you get to it. Much love Alison and Darren 💜🤟
Wow speechless what a climb and what a town just wow

Another great episode. Thank you. Great effort with the climb. Can't believe it is only 16 days till we arrive in Calpe for our holiday. Not stayed there before but visited a few times. Will definitely take a walk round the old town whilst there. The climb up Penon de Ifach will be beyond us for the time being, until we get a bit fitter! Our daughter loves the beach you went to near the marina / Harbour. She would take fish food into the water and within seconds have masses of fish circling her and going into a frenzy when she fed them. We also love seeing the flamingos in the lake. Counting the days.

Amazing views from the top and not as bad as I first feared. However, there were defo a few squeaky bum moments. 🤣 Well done for conquering it 👏

Fab episode guys, that climb looked a bit sketchy towards the top with the lack of safety railings so well done for making it up and down safely.

Buenos días Ana, Tuvimos un gran día en Calpe. Marcó cada casilla para nosotros. Gracias por mirar. Mucho amor Alison y Darren 💜🤟
Beautiful views, how long did it take it to climb, stops and all. Does it take longer after the tunnel? Thanks in advance.

Hi, Sorry for the delay, I had to check the timings with Darren. I'm to forgetful. The total time to climb to the top was about 2 hours. 1½ hours of that was after the tunnel. It's much harder going beyond the tunnel. It only took us about 1½ hours to get back down though. The view was well with the effort. Thanks for your comment. 💜 🤟
