Calpe Sights and Weather

May 12, 2010

Calpe in Spain is a fantastic picturesque tourist resort to book a holiday to at any time of year.

Calpe with its distinguishing Penon d’Ifach is a sea side resort on the Northern Costa Blanca with mostly sunny blue skies, white sandy beaches and a deep blue Mediterranean Sea with many hotels, villas and apartments to take family vacations, short breaks or take a long three month break away from the cold dreary northern European winters.

Calpe’s white sandy beaches have long wide promenades providing food and drink at the bars and restaurants or stock up on your sun tan lotion, beach towels, and accessories from the many shops and boutiques.

Whatever the season you can enjoy sitting at the Calpe fish market, feasting on your freshly caught and cooked fish as part of your Menu Del Dia, either inside the restaurants on the sunny terraces.

You can while away your vacation watching the street vendors or admiring the white yachts in the harbour. Be sure to sample the free sangria and chopitos or small fried baby quid as part of your Calpe experience. The vendors outside the restaurants will fight your custom offering you incentives and special deals so be patient and take your time and don’t necessarily take the first offer.

For the more daring the Penon d’Ifach is there for you to make the climb. This is also known as the Calpe rock and it dominates the skyline of Calpe . Be sure to be there in the early morning as the amount of people being on the mountain is limited at any given time.

If bird watching is your thing, there is a wide range of birdlife on the salt lagoons or if you would like to pack your golf clubs you won’t be disappointed with the quality or amount of golf courses to choose from on your doorstep. Designed by world class golfers such as Seve Ballesteros or Jack Nicklaus they are of world class quality that you will be playing on under the hot Spanish sun.

Calpe weather is very reliable and is known to have over three hundred days of solid sunshine, with long hot summers, warm springs and mild winters with very little rain which is typically enjoyed as part of a Mediterranean climate.
