Calpe is dominated by the imposing image of the Rock of Ifach. Calpe sits on the shores of the Mediterranean, surrounded by a beautiful landscape filled with mountains and vineyards. Many ancient civilisations settled in this town in the Marina Alta region of Alicante, including the Roman baths known as “Baños de la Reina” (Queen’s Baths). The town is one of the main tourist destinations on the Costa Blanca, with the marina, the promenade, and eleven kilometres of coastline marked by cliffs, beaches, and coves. Another symbol of the town is the Rock of Ifach, a huge calcareous rock 332 metres high that penetrates the sea and gave the town its name.

The mild climate and the area’s orography make Calpe an ideal destination for both beach lovers and fans of outdoor sports. Among the quiet coves in the bay is Les Bassetes, famous for its beautiful seabed and crystal waters, alongside other coves such as La Manzanera and Les Urques.

The present town of Calpe was established in the area surrounding the Rock, with its history narrated by remains it preserves, including the Baños de la Reina from Roman times.

The parish church devoted to the Virgin of the Snow dates back to the 15th century.
