IN the international community, Calpe is relatively an unknown place. But once you’ll find out that this relatively unknown place is a paradise, you’ll definitely come back for more here. First of all, it is part of the 250 kilometers of the Mediterranean coastline of Spain. So there are lots of fresh seafood available here. In fact, many restaurants here have their own aquariums featuring live fish or lobsters for you to choose. You’re in luck if you drop by the fishing village and if you know a little Spanish and if the fisherman is impressed, then there’s a great chance that he will give you a huge grouper. A strict Mediterranean diet consisting of seafood and capped with rose is said to be the healthiest modern diet in the world and you can find it all here in Calpe. The place also has an abundance of olives which means that using olive oil generously in sautéing your food is cheap as compared to buying olive oil back home in groceries.

The beaches here in Calpe are divided into two – the conventional beach and the nudist beach. It’s nice to dip in these nudist beaches at night because glowing planktons swarming around will illuminate your body underwater. Isn’t that lovely to spend a honeymoon in spring with your loved one here? Conventional or nudist, beaches here in Calpe are quarterly monitored by the European Union for quality of service.

Aside from the beaches, one of the entertainment pastimes here are the casinos, the most popular of which is Casino Calpe. Records from 2007 show that the number of female gamblers has surged as compared to their male counterparts. Most of the gamblers here are not Spaniards though but are Norwegians, Italians, Belgians, English, Irish, Portuguese and other nationalities of Scandinavian descent. Calpe and ther surrounding areas also have some very glamorous and fun casinos to be enjoyed. Popular with the French (who practise at home playing casino en ligne), they really can add a glam touch to your holiday!

Another beautiful thing that you can do here in Calpe during spring time is bowling. Another thing that is slowly becoming a trend here is the creation of community radio stations or what is known as development journalism or development communication. Under this scheme, the government of the town of Calpe is reaching out to the people by giving them information over the radio. The Calpe town government maintains one such radio station in Calpe open 24 hours a day which broadcasts the latest hits in music when there is no developmental information needed to be broadcast.
