My husband, 17 year old son and I live in England.

Unfortuanately we both work so we can't spend as much time as we'd like in Calpe but we try to get out for some sunshine at least once a year.

We take a lot of time and trouble to ensure our home is well kept and have some fantastic people helping us keep our home in good condition so our guests can enjoy their time with us.

We hope you agree and enjoy your time in our home.

El Alamo is situated in the town of Calpe just 40 minutes away from Benidorm. The apartment is located 10 minutes walk from a beautiful sandy beach overlooking the famous rock, Penon de Fach which is likened to the rock of Gibralter (well, a much smaller version!).

The weather here is wonderful, especially for those sun worshipers. The old town of Calpe is equally wonderful with many modern shops, restaurants, cafes and bars. The old part of town has some wonderful cobbled stoned alley ways leading up and up to the church square where you will find some traditional Spanish restaurants. Because it is an old fishing village you will still get the fresh catch of the day which you must try. The food here is just devine. You can't beat a good jug of Sangria and tapas in the evening!

El Alamo is just 10 minutes walk from the nearest sandy beach. It is ideal for families young and old equally. There are 2 supermarkets on the doorstep so in actual fact there is no need to hire a car if you don't want to drive.

There is an abundance of restaurants and bars including a more upmarket restaurant just a few minutes walk to the right of the apartment. There is also a fully operational laundry under the block which can have your clothes washed and ironed within a few hours.

You can leave all your cares behind when you come to Calpe because there is something for everyone, young and old. You can catch a small train from across the road in front of Hotel Esmeralda which will take you into Calpe town where you can spend the day and then return by taxi for a few euros.
