Car hire Calpe

Calpe or Calp in Valencian is a town located in the Alicante province of Spain. It is more known as a tourist resort, handling millions of travellers every year who come in for their summer holidays. The town is also inhabited by a significantly large community of ex-pats. Entry is by taking the tram along the coast from Alicante. You can reach Alicante via high-speed trains coming from other parts of Spain. To get around the town, it's better to arrange for cheap car hire in Calpe as soon as you arrive.

While you'll probably spend most of your time in Calpe lounging by its golden sand beaches, you might want to take the time to explore some of the most interesting attractions in the town. Take your car rental for a drive to the nature reserve of Peñon de Ifac. This is a large Gibraltar like rock that juts out straight from the sea and dominates the whole resort town. You can get to the top of the rock through a tunnel that goes through its middle.

After enjoying a scenic view of Calpe from the nature reserve, head downtown where a number of attractions await you. You can go to the Old Town and walk along the many historic buildings that feature local architectural designs or sample local dishes through the many restaurants that dot the area.

Because Calpe is a resort town, you can expect a happening night life through the pubs and bars located in the town centre and surrounding the beach resorts. For a dose of retail therapy, visit the flea market that opens on Wednesdays and the street market on Saturdays.

While staying in town is enough to complete your summer holiday, why not take your car hire in Calpe for day trips to nearby towns to make your stay worthwhile? From Calpe, you can drive up to Alicante or the towns of Denia, Benidorm and Altea.
