Calpe, a town rich in history
Calpe has a long history: first known to the Phoenicians, it was later developed by the Romans, who built baths there. The centuries have left a varied cultural mark, reflecting different rulers and urban changes. After rebuilding linked to the changes of the 20th century, the town turned to tourism and services, becoming more attractive while preserving its heritage. Today Calpe combines tradition and modern energy, offering an interesting setting for a lasting property purchase, backed by an active local life.
Living in Calpe
Calpe is known for the Peñón de Ifach, a rock protected as a natural park that juts out into the sea between two beaches, Arenal-Bol and La Fossa. Just behind the seafront, the old salt flats are home to flamingos for part of the year.
The old village keeps its narrow streets and painted façades, and the fishing port at the foot of the rock is still a working harbour, with its fish auction.

Frequently asked questions about property in Calpe
Can a foreigner buy property in Calpe?
+
Yes. Spain places no nationality restrictions on buying property. You do, however, need an NIE, the foreigner identification number, which is required to sign at the notary's and to open a Spanish bank account. We handle this step as part of our support.
What costs should you budget for on top of the property price?
+
As a rule, allow 10 to 15% of the asking price. This covers transfer tax (ITP) for a resale property or VAT for a new build, notary fees, land registry registration and administrative costs. Our online buying costs calculator gives a detailed estimate by region and type of property.
Do you need to be there in person to buy in Calpe?
+
No. Many of our clients buy from abroad. Viewings can be done by video call with a written report, and signing at the notary's is possible with a power of attorney. On site, we check what photos do not show: the real condition, the immediate surroundings, any nuisances, compliance.
What checks do you carry out before an offer?
+
We check the property's legal status at the land registry, that there are no debts or unpaid charges, planning compliance, the state of the community of owners and whether the price is consistent with recent sales in the area. These checks take place before any offer, not after.
How long does it take to buy a property in Calpe?
+
From the first viewing to signing, it generally takes two to four months. The timing depends mainly on getting the NIE, any financing and the notary's availability. A cash purchase with a complete file can go faster.
