The immense Rock of Ifach, calm and very clean beaches or little bays and cliffs and the valleys and mountains in the inland – Calpe will surprise you with its contrasts and the mild climate all year-round.
The new part of Calpe with its modern buildings and wide avenues harmonise with the ancient little fishing-village. Where tradition still has its place, tourists and visitors are always welcomed with warm hospitality.
The strategic location of Calpe on the coast has attracted a lot of settlers and voyagers throughout the centuries. That is the reason why it is a town that is full of culture and history. Around the skirts of the “Peñon” were discovered remains of Iberian tribes. Later, the Romans founded a colony on the coastal plain, its main activity was dealing in dried, salted fish. During the Medieval period, the population was spread out in independent settlements.
Even Christians and Moors lived peacefully together for some time, but later on the population suffered continual attacks by the pirates from the 14th to the 17th centuries. Finally abated the threat of pirates, Calpe started a period of redevelopment during the 18th century and laying the foundations in the 19th century for its current prosperity as a major attraction for international and national tourism.
The local festivities start in February with the Carnival, where marching bands from the whole of Europe meet in Calpe. The “Fallas” are in March, burning ceremoniously big statues on “San Jose”, the 19th.
The next is a summer’s festival on the beach on the 24th June, followed by the fishermen’s patron “Virgen del Carmen” in the port the 16th July.
The 5th August is the patron saint’s day of the town “Virgen de las Nieves” with processions, fireworks etc. After the German Beer Festival in October, on the 22nd of the same month is the Fiesta in honour of the “Santisimo Cristo del Sudor” and about the same time the fiestas of the Moors and Christians (www.morosicristians.com) as well with different processions fireworks, outdoor parties etc.
In the old town, next to the Moorish quarter (“Arrabal”) you can see a group of monuments like the “Torreo de la Peca”, the ancient Town Walls and the church called “la Iglesia Vieja” the only example of Mudejar – Gothic architecture in the Land of Valencia. Along the seaside you have a modern promenade (“Paseo Maritimo”) where recently have been found remains of a Roman villa, once forming part of the fish factory “Banys de la Reina”.
On a hill overlooking the bay you can see the hermitage of San Salvador from the 18th century. On the outskirts of the town you will find the hermitage “La Cometa and the fortified “Casa Nova”, built in the same century. Near by the “Mascarat” ravine are the ruins of the Moorish castle of Calpe. All over the municipal district you can find typical “Riu-Rau” country houses beside modern villas in perfect harmony.
Scenery
The municipal district extends along the curved bay, where you can find the impressive “Peñon de Ifach”, the Symbol of the Costa Blanca. The Rock is declared as a Nature Park and provides shelter for a variety of plants, like for example the rockrose, the germander or the Ifach campion.
