Calpe at night

Calpe is a brilliant coastal town in Spain’s Valencian Community, located on the Mediterranean Sea. It is the gateway to all the spectacular coastal attractions of the Costa Blanca. The iconic symbol of Calpe is the “Penyal d’Ifac,” or the Rock of Ifach, a 332-meter-high limestone rock formation right off the coast, shooting out of the sea. It has been declared as a Natural Park since 1987 and it is the most notable of all the rock formations around Calpe. The Rock of Ifac is a popular destination for rock climbers and hikers, with breathtaking coastal views and beautiful wildflowers. The hike to the top of the rock is an incredible experience with views stretching from Calpe to Benidorm and even further out to the horizon. The journey is rewarded with a spectacular panorama of the blue Mediterranean Sea that you’ll never forger. There are many lesser-known paths surrounding the Peñon, which offers more stunning secretive looks into nature.
