Where to stay in Calp
Staying in Calp Old Town puts you within easy walking distance of the weekly market and the local shops around the Peñón de Ifach. It's a compact area, so you won't need a car to get around once you've arrived.
If you prefer a seafront base, Arenal-Bol Beach has plenty of apartments and hotels with good transport links into the centre. Either way, Calp is small enough that nowhere feels too far from the action.
Tours & Activities in Calp
Street markets in Calp
Calp has two outdoor street markets, both running weekly. The Calpe market everyone asks about is the Calpe Weekly Market, one of the larger markets on the Costa Blanca with around 250 stalls spread across an open-air site. You can pick up fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, clothing and footwear here, making it a practical stop for both residents and visitors stocking up during their stay.
The Calpe Flea Market is the town's second street market, running weekly with a different focus entirely. Its stalls specialise in antiques and second-hand goods, so it draws a different crowd to the weekly produce market. The exact stall count is not fixed, but the market is a reliable fixture for anyone hunting vintage finds or collectables.
Calp sits within the Alicante province, where outdoor markets are a well-established part of coastal town life. If you are travelling along the coast, the nearby markets in Benidorm and Dénia are worth adding to your itinerary. For official local information, the Calp tourism website provides up-to-date event and market details.
