Located on the central Eastern coastline, Spain’s Costa Blanca is a popular destination for tourists who arrive every summer to take advantage of the warm climate, sun-drenched beaches, laid-back lifestyle and lively evening culture. Calpe is situated approximately 60km from Alicante airport. With around 13.000 inhabitants, this unassuming former fishing village has become a popular resort. A distinguishing feature of the town is the “Penon de Ifach”, an imposing rock which rises from the sea and creates a unique landscape for this coastal resort.
Calpe's two main beaches, the Cantal Roig and the Playa Arenal, are renowned for their long stretches of fine sand and clear waters, perfect for swimming and also popular with surfers. Protection from the wind by surrounding mountains means that the town’s beaches generally remain warm and the sea calm.
The port comes alive in the afternoon as the daily catch makes its way inland and diners are invited to sample the fresh local seafood for dinner in one of the many restaurants surrounding the harbour. As well as a good choice of restaurants serving local specialities (the Valencian Paella is a must-try!), there is a good selection of international dining choices including Argentinian, Italian and other European cuisine. Calpe boasts some fantastic bars and clubs playing a wide range of live music including Flamenco bars and karaoke pubs which remain open until the early hours of the morning. For a wilder evening, Benidorm is just 20 minutes by bus.
Shopping in Calpe offers the usual traditional local handicrafts such as wickerwork, ceramics and leather goods, as well as a wide assortment of souvenirs jewellery and trinkets.

Covid-19 update
We hope this message can allay some of the concerns for those already booked or those looking at maybe booking the holiday in September, and explain to all the process over the coming months.
Firstly and most importantly, we do not yet know whether or not this year's trip will be taking place. As with every other business in the UK right now, we are taking our lead from government announcements. The ever changing face of the situation makes it impossible to predict where restrictions will be by September, and therefore we would not like to predict either way.
That said, we want to reassure you of two things.
1. We will not be running the holiday unless it has been confirmed by the various authorities that we can do so, AND that social partner dancing can commence. We certainly will not be operating a non-dancing holiday, nor will we host the event at a reduced capacity if large groups are still not allowed to gather. The quality of our product is still of utmost importance to us.
2. Your money is safe. Should the event need to be cancelled, we will automatically forward all bookings as they stand to a future Dance Holiday. We hope many holiday makers could support us by transferring their booking in the first instance to support the business through this unstable period, however we will of course be able to arrange refunds on request. Your option to transfer credit will extend beyond Medfest 2021. It will include Blaze, our Ski Jive excursion or any other offering on the Club Dance Holiday menu, and will be valid indefinitely.
We will of course keep you all in the picture as soon as we hear further news and can make firmer decisions. We hope to have a much clearer vision of the situation long before the end of July when the final balance is due, and will inform you with plenty of warning.
We hope this goes some way to reassure any worries, and we are just sorry that we are unable to offer a definitive stance on the fate of the trip until we hear more developments from both the UK and Spanish Government.
If you have any concerns or questions about the unique circumstances of your booking, feel free to contact us by emailing theteam@clubdanceholidays.com or call 0207 099 4816.
Thank you for your patience and understanding in the meantime.
