Sightseeing in Calpe

The two churches of Calpe are certainly worth a visit. Close to each other, the Iglesia Antigua and the church Senora de las Nieves are both located in the centre of Calpe.
Built in the 15th century, the old church had been reconditioned many times over the past centuries, as the city had been attacked by pirates many times. Calpe's archeological museum can be found just opposite at the plaza de la villa showing various findings of the 4th until the 8th century. Alongside you find ruins of the romans and the ruins of the bano de la reina, together with rests of an old tower, the torreon de la peca.

If you are further interested in local culture, you should visit the museo fester in Calle Jose Antoni which explains the local Calpe fiesta moros y cristianos and its traditions. The Calpe tourist information at the Avenida ejercitos espanoles (Tel. 965 83 69 20) can be reached passing through the streets of Calpe with its shops, restaurants, bars, Calpe real estate agencies and the various Calpe car hire companies.

Calpe's two main beaches, the cantal roig and the playa arenal are widely known for its fine sand. Together with the other two beaches, la fossa and the bay of Gasparet which also belongs to the city, Calpe offers many kilometers of excellent swimming and surfing possibilities. There is also Calpe Golf Club, and you can find an extensive listing of courses where you can play golf around the Costa Blanca.

Amongst many interesting places, Calpe and its neighboring town of Teulada, invites every visitor to enjoy the fishing harbour and the yacht harbour, famous for their steady wind conditions. Calpe weather is one of the mildest around the Costa Blanca due to the close mountains which protect the village from the sometimes stronger north winds.
