Calpe (Valencian Calp<\/em>) is one of the most famous places on the Costa Blanca - not only because of the imposing Pe\u00f1\u00f3n de Ifach rock, but also because of the good infrastructure, the well-known fish market, the two city beaches and the well-functioning everyday life, which makes Calpe particularly attractive for international residents. The town has over 20,000 inhabitants - around half of whom come from other European countries, including many from Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Scandinavia.<\/p>

Calpe has Roman, Arabic and medieval roots - as evidenced by the foundations of the \u201eBa\u00f1os de la Reina\u201c and the old town centre. Tourism began here in the 1960s, initially by national visitors and later by international settlers. The development of high-rise buildings - especially around Playa Arenal - took place in parallel with the growth. Despite urban densification, Calpe emphasised the preservation of the Pe\u00f1\u00f3n de Ifach as a natural park and landmark. Today, the town is an example of the combination of tourism, urban comfort and access to nature.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
