Calpe
What you need to know before you go
Calpe is situated on Spain's sunny eastern coast. It's best known for beaches like Arenal-Bol, with its golden sands and azure blue Mediterranean waters. While the seafront and restaurant-packed marina form the town's epicenters, its old town is a must-see, with its Gothic churches, Roman ruins, and scattering of cafes and tapas bars.
Be sure to check out La Muralla Roja, a pink, red, and blue castle-like structure by architect Ricardo Bofill. And, if you're a nature lover, there's Penon de Ifach – the colossal limestock rock that dominates that town, which teems with birdlife and features medieval ruins. For nightlife, buzzing Benidorm is just half-an-hour away.
