Located on the north coast of Alicante, the town of Calpe overlooking the Mediterranean in all its splendor: the blue water, sun, sand beaches. Its streets are routes of fishermen who tell their stories. Calpe is a haven for the traveler and exudes history from every corner.
The Phoenicians in the Mediterranean route found refuge in the Rock of Ifach, which is a symbol of the Costa Blanca. The Romans settled in the so-called “Baños de la Reina” and engaged in the manufacture and marketing of cured meats. Some time later came the Muslims to engage in fishing and agriculture. Already in the thirteenth century, the Crown of Aragon annexed the land that was a strategic place until the late eighteenth century.
Calpe is one of the busiest tourist destinations on the coast of the Costa Blanca. One of his best known festivals is that of the Moors and Christians in October, when Calpe becomes fire and gunpowder.
