In Calpe, we were so impressed with the expansive beach and wonderful views of Calpe (Calpe) rock. For more info on Calpe Rock Park and hours of operation, see the link below:

Altea has the most beautiful old town, filled with narrow pathways and winding streets. There are many lookouts from the old town where you can see out over the Mediterranean coast.

Having spent 7-8 years traveling (mostly around the mediterranean) but months in each country looking for a place where we could live long term. There are so many great areas, but in the end you find a place that resonates with you, for what ever reason. When you find it you know. Our long term stay place is Altea, close to many great other areas for day trips, and each time heading back it just feels like home. Don't regret buying there at all. Calpe is less than 15 minutes, Altea city center less than 15 minutes, 5 minutes to the beach and sailing club. People are great and if you are ever back Brian and Carrie gives us a shout and could trade some fun traveling stories. And during off season it's actually a nice break from high season, actually seems like a completely (quiet) different place. Quick note on the tram, they are standardizing track and finishing a bridge near Benissa, but eventually it will be a single, modern high speed tram.

Thanks for your input and advice.We always enjoy your videos and plan on going to Alicante this fall for a month and was looking for day trips to take. You look like a great couple that are enjoying life to its fullest.

The "Calpe Rock" is called "Peñon de Ifach". Although many people call it "Peñon de Calpe", that's not the real name. And if you think to do some hiking you can go on the top, but it is quite dangerous (slippery rocks because of so many people passing). You should be experienced, go up in the morning and go back in time (with daylight!) and wear closed shoes. Take enough water with you. In the middle you will have to pass a dark tunnel.

Altea boardwalk is great, you should try to get back sometime (they are doing a big update so the boardwalk will be more like a park with no cars). We will be back to our Cap Negret apartment at the end of the the year. New Years is great in the old town (bring your grapes for good luck (eat one per chime of the old clock tower). Try Maná restaurant near the port and Alte Art in old town. If you want a great hike try Sierra de Bernia. I think the locals say Altea with a long a sound in the name instead of a long e sound. Cheers and we will buy you a beer next time you come back. Rich and Deb from Buffalo NY.
