Property For Sale In Calpe - Is Calpe Busy?

Calpe is a diverse town that can be easily recognized by the rock of Ifach that towers above the town in the bay between two of its long sandy beaches. Smaller coves can also be found, and the area can offer a wide variety of water sports and safe areas for families to enjoy the sun and the water. The old town is traditional, the promenade offers shops and cafes, and the salt lakes attract flamingos, but is it busy? Well, this depends upon the time of year, but there is something to do throughout the year and always somewhere hidden and less hectic to relax and recharge.

Summer

During the summer Calpe is an attractive place to enjoy a family holiday, the beaches and promenades come to life, and everyone joins in with local Fiestas. Restaurants and bars are busy but plentiful, so there will always be a place to stop and enjoy tapas. For those who regularly visit at this time of year, the area offers reasonably priced apartments for sale, which can be ideal for family holidays in the center of everything. It can be hectic, and the heat at the height of summer might not suit everyone. The advantage of living here, however, is that this is the perfect time to take a trip into the cooler air of the mountains behind the Costa Blanca and explore the traditional villages of the Jalon Valley. Inland, you will find some lovely places to eat local food and enjoy a more relaxed pace.

Spring and Autumn

Any time outside of school holidays will bring a more tranquil atmosphere to the town and is often a favorite time of year for those who buy a villa in Calpe because there is still plenty to do, but it is not as hot or crowded. This is a lovely time of year to explore the town, perhaps join in with a guided walk/climb of the Peñon de Ifach, wander through the historic old town, or have ice cream on the Arenal promenade.

Winter

Winter can still bring warm sunshine, but cooler, shorter days are ideal for peaceful walks along the beach and meals at restaurants heated with a wood fire. The lights of Christmas fill the town, and there will be processions and holidays for all locals to enjoy. Those with a townhouse in Calpe Old Town can really enjoy being part of the local community at this magical time of year.
