Market
The weekend can begin at the Saturday market where you can stock your larder with fruit and vegetables or buy some new plants for your terrace and perhaps purchase some clothes, shoes or a new handbag.

Make sure you have some cash with you because not all stalls accept cards, wear comfortable shoes and sample some fresh churros from one of the food stalls. Perhaps take home a rotisserie chicken for lunch. Do be aware of your surroundings, although crime rates in the Costa Blanca are low crowded markets can be attractive to opportunistic pickpockets particularly in crowded marketplaces.

Las Salinas
Another place to birdwatch and just enjoy exploring this lovely town is the Salt Lake, las Salinas, where flamingos enjoy the water making a sea of pink plumage.
Fish and Seafood
If you enjoy fresh seafood Calpe’s Central Fish Market has a daily fish auction selling to the local restaurants which can be fascinating to watch and then head straight to one of the port side restaurants to enjoy lunch that has just been caught that morning while watching the fishing boats bobbing up and down in the sea.
Boat Excursions
Just near the restaurants you can book and enjoy some local boat excursions during the summer months with a coastal cruise, perhaps a sunset cruise or a day trip along the coast to the famous town of Benidorm. Here you land in the area by the old town where you can enjoy a great lunch in “tapas alley” before reboarding the boat to return to Calpe.
