At the heart of the Costa Blanca, within the region of Valencia lies the ancient fishing village of Calpe. www.spain-holiday.com/Calpe
Calpe has a wonderful mixture of old Valencian culture and modern tourist facilities. It is a great base from which to explore the local area or enjoy the many local beaches. Calpe alone has three of the most beautiful sandy beaches on the coast, and the the Rock of Ifach (Peñon de Ifach) is a very recognisable feature. It is Spain's smallest nature reserve.
The town sits in an ideal location, easily accessed by the A7 motorway and the N332 that runs from Valencia to Alicante; its approximately one hour drive from the airport at Alicante.
