Calpe is very well-known for having some of the best and most beautiful beaches of the Costa Blanca in Spain, and the good weather allows everyone to enjoy these beaches to the maximum.
Calpe is a coastal city that breathes history from all sides. The first archaeological remains date from the Bronze Age, from which have found some remains and funerary village. But it was during the Roman Empire when the area became really important due to its strategic location, facing the sea and next to the Salinas. An example of the heritage that has been preserved to this day are the Roman ruins of the Baños de la Reina, where fish was preserved and elaborated, because in the past it was a salted fish factory.
Later the territory passed into the hands of the Muslims until 1254, with the Christian conquest becoming part of the Kingdom of Aragon. The remains of the defensive wall and Torre de Peça are inherited from a time when people lived in fear and tension due to the constant attacks by pirates and privateers between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This was always a land always desired for all. We recommend you to stroll through the labyrinthine old town of Calpe.
