Calpe / Calp is located in Alicante, Valencia, Spain
Calpe, known in Valencian as Calp, is a coastal town on the northern Costa Blanca in Alicante province, defined geographically by the imposing Peñón de Ifach, a 332-metre limestone outcrop that rises from the sea and is protected as a natural park. The town's two main beaches — Arenal-Bol and La Fossa — offer calm, sheltered swimming, while the historic salt lagoon (Las Salinas) is home to significant birdlife including flamingos. The property market covers a broad spectrum from apartments in established complexes near the seafront to detached villas on surrounding hillsides with sea views towards the Peñón. Calpe's year-round residential community, good local services and direct road links to Alicante and Valencia give it consistent appeal.
