Why this destination is a must-visit

Calpe: where history, architecture and the Mediterranean meet

Calpe is far more than its golden sandy beaches. It’s a destination where avant,garde architecture meets ancient Roman remains and where a dramatic rock hides stories of pirates and Mediterranean legends.

Here are some of the most fascinating curiosities about this jewel of the Costa Blanca:

Peñón de Ifach: a giant full of surprises

It’s the unmistakable symbol of Calpe, yet it hides details few visitors know:

  • One of Europe’s smallest natural parks. The rock forms part of the smallest Natural Park in the Valencian Community and one of the smallest in Europe, covering just about 45 hectares.
  • A tunnel carved by hand. To reach the summit you must pass through a tunnel that isn’t natural, it was excavated in the early twentieth century to make access to the top easier.
  • A private past. Surprisingly, the rock remained privately owned until 1987, when the Valencian government purchased it to ensure its protection.

The Red Wall: an architectural icon

If you love architecture, you’ve probably seen this striking pink and blue building. It was designed by architect Ricardo Bofill in the 1970s.

  • Arab inspiration. Its design is inspired by the “kasbahs”, the traditional citadels of North Africa.
  • Global fame. It has become one of the most photographed buildings on social media and its aesthetic has inspired creatives and productions around the world.

The Queen’s Baths that never had a queen

Near the promenade you’ll find pools carved directly into the rock that look like Roman baths.

  • The legend. For years people believed they were the private baths of a Moorish queen.
  • The reality. In fact, they were a Roman fish farm from the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, used to keep fish fresh or produce garum, the famous Roman fish sauce.

Flamingos in the city centre

In the heart of Calpe lies Las Salinas, a saltwater lagoon surrounded by buildings. It’s the perfect place to spot pink flamingos and migratory birds without leaving the town centre. In the past, the salt harvested here was essential for the local fishing industry.

“Forat de la Mar” and the fight against pirates

Calpe’s old town was built on higher ground for a very good reason: pirate attacks.

  • You can still see remains of the ancient walls and the Torreó de la Peça.
  • The famous Puchalt Street, with steps painted in the colours of the Spanish flag, is now one of the most picturesque and photographed corners of the town.

Did you know?

Calpe is one of the few places where the traditional fish auction still takes place at the fish market. Every afternoon, when the fishing boats return to the harbour, visitors can watch this authentic Mediterranean spectacle for free.

9.4 Victor October 2025
Habitaciones amplias, con terraza, escritorio, sofá y centrito, casi parece un apartamento. La comida del restaurante muy buena y variada, incluyendo el desayuno buffet, nos gustó mucho.
Una cosa a mejorar sería el mobiliario de las habitaciones, que ya se nota un poco antiguo. El parking es caro, 11 euros/día.

El personal muy atento y la comida poca variedad pero toda muy rica .
Las habitaciones muy antiguas y el la habitación de tres uno es un sofá cama. Son dos salas individuales en la habitación como si fuera habitación y sala de estar. Solo había una televisión en la sala de estar que es donde está el sofá cama y en la otra sala donde están las camas no hay televisión.

8.9 Jorge Travelled with couple September 2025
Pues la ubicación me parece inmejorable en la playa pero zona tranquila. La piscina climatizada un acierto y la zona de baño en la terraza también muy bien. El servicio de comidas pues lo que se espera de un bufet . Por cierto la paella que hacían 2 diferentes cada día muy buenas y el servicio por parte de los camareros y demas personal muy amables. En líneas generales diría que volveremos. Haber cuando realicen la renovación que van a hacer podemos volver.
Lo van a remodelar todo. Así que no hace falta comentar aspectos negativos. Que para mi no los hubo

La zona muy tranquila, cerca de la playa. La piscina exterior, estupenda. La limpieza impecable y el personal, en general muy bien. La comodidad de las camas. El Spa, para lo que tiene, un poco caro. La animación entretenida. El personal del comedor, super - currante.
El hotel en si, necesita una buena reforma, nuestra habitación estaba deteriorada, el mobiliario antiguo. Empezó a gotear agua del techo. Las placas de pladur del doble techo del baño, con huecos entre ellas y mal colocadas. Un día entramos y había muy mal olor. La comida mejorable. Tienen que estar mas pendientes de la gente cochina que coge la comida con las manos...
