Revisit history at the Castle of Calpe

Destination Essentials

Witnessing the subtropical charms of Calpe at its peak requires a summer visit, during May through November. The hot summers invite travellers from all corners, providing a glorious setting for beach gatherings, swimming or sunset watching.

However, avoid August's scorching heat and bustling tourist crowds if you prefer a quieter escape. Spring (April and May) and autumn (September and October) promise a milder climate and comparatively fewer tourists, allowing you to savour the Calpe experience in tranquillity.
