A Day in Calpe: From Historic Charm to Coastal Beauty

Set off on a delightful two-stop excursion to the vibrant town of Calpe, where history, colour, and coastline come together to create the perfect day out.
Your first stop is the enchanting old town, a maze of narrow streets and sun-kissed squares brimming with character. Here, brightly painted houses, striking street art, and an array of small museums and galleries offer a feast for the eyes. With cosy bars and traditional restaurants tucked around every corner, it’s an inviting place to lose yourself for a while.

Visitors have 1 hour and 30 minutes to explore this atmospheric quarter at their own pace.
The journey continues to Calpe’s lively port area, famous for its seafood restaurants and dominated by the majestic Peñón de Ifach, a limestone rock rising 332 metres above the Mediterranean.

With two hours to enjoy this part of town, you can savour a leisurely lunch, admire views stretching towards Moraira from the golden sands of Playa de la Fossa, or simply unwind by the water as fishing boats glide in and out of the harbour.

Whether you prefer wandering historic streets, sampling fresh seafood, or relaxing by the sea, Calpe offers something for everyone.

This six-hour excursion runs every Monday, departing at 09:45 — the perfect start to a memorable day on the Costa Blanca.

This beautiful day trip is a "must" for visitors to Benidorm.  The excursion departs from Benidorm in the morning with pick-up points located in Benidorm and Albir.  On arrival you have three hours to explore at your leisure the River Algar with its natural waterfalls created as the river Algar takes its course down the mountain.  

Considered nature’s natural water park the Algar Water Falls, just 15 kilometres from Benidorm is an oasis of calm.

The Algar River which means "cave” in Arabic has over time created these spectacular waterfalls and springs or “Tolls” which spring from the rocks. You can bathe in the pure crystal-clear waters once considered to be beneficial for your health then follow the river over its 1,5 kilometre route. As there are a lot of steps to climb as you follow the river’s course, this excursion is not suitable for anyone with walking difficulties.

In the morning you will be picked up from one of the various pick up points then as you head inland away from the coast you can admire the spectacular scenery on route arriving in the village of Algar. You then have 3 to 3 and a half hours free time to explore at your leisure, relax or take a dip in the spring water before heading back to Benidorm, arriving back in resort .

Don´t forget to bring your swim wear, towel, sun screen and something to change into afterwards.

INCLUDED: guide on the coach and the entrance to the water falls.

This half day trip to the Algar Waterfalls departs in the morning with three hours free time for you to enjoy the beauty of Nature.
