The sands of La Fossa Beach are 150 metres away, while the centre of Calpe is around one and a half miles away. Here you can see the Torreo de la Peca, a historic bastion which forms part of the city’s defensive walls. Another of Calpe’s landmark sites, around half a mile away, is the Banos de la Reina archaeological site with its Roman ruins. Calpe also hosts a popular market...
