Calpe is a tiny Valencian seaside town that is situated in the Marina Alta area of the province of Alicante. The Peñón de Ifach, an emblem of the region, rises magnificently and completely dominates the fields of Cabo. This 320-meter-tall limestone hill has always held a powerful allure for people and other ancient cultures who have traversed these territories.

Ancient Calpe

The seaside city of Calpe exudes antiquity from every angle. The Bronze Age is when the earliest archaeological remnants were discovered, along with a burial village. However, the area gained significant importance during the Roman Empire because of its advantageous location close to the Salinas and facing the sea. The Roman ruins of the Baños de la Reina, where fish was preserved and refined because it was once a salted fish factory, are an example of the legacy that has been kept to this day. Afterwards, the region was controlled by Muslims until 1254, at which point the Christian conquest was included into the Kingdom of Aragon. The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries saw many invasions by pirates and privateers, which left people living in fear and stress. This is reflected in the remnants of the defensive wall and Torre de Peça. Everyone has always wanted to live in this land. We advise you to take a leisurely stroll through Calpe's intricate old town.

 

Located in the heart of the Costa Blanca is the charming village of Calpe. This makes it the perfect place from which to explore this amazing region, its food, culture, and array of recreational and entertainment options. Only 21 km separate this population from Benidorm, 35 from Denia, 63 from Alicante, and 122 from Valencia's capital.
