Conditions of the beaches of Calpe

This week we would like to echo a story that has been published by the Town Hall of Calpe, informing to all residents and visitors about a new service of daily update reports on swimming conditions status of  the coves and beaches in the area of Calpe.

In particular, this service will reort the state of the Arenal Bol beach,  Puerto Blanco beach, La Fose-Levante, Morell cove, Calalga cove, Roig beach and El Raco beach.

Those wishing to access these reports may do so through the following link which contains updated information about the flag colour flying in each beach of Calp, so that anyone knows whether if the place is suitable for swimming or not (it is in Spanish).

The Cala Gasparet of Calpe

The Cala Gasparet of Calpe

Here is a link to the new guide to Charming Beaches and Coves which is published  by the Comunitat Valenciana  and in which it appears the Cala Gasparet of Calpe.

The guide defines  La Cala Gasparet in Calpe as follows ( rough translation): “Slumbering on the edge of the Sierra de Toix and away from the buildings that cover the rest of the area there is a small cove known as Cala Gasparet, near to  which is the Cave of the Oroneta. Its access is impossible to most, since  all along the coast their are towering limestone cliffs but to any with  the privilege of having a small boat the access is easy. The Sierra de Toix has the best views of this stretch of coast and is accessible from a  undulating track  that reaches the top, from where the bravest jump  in their colourful paragliders in search of the beach. ”
