A little background
alpe, at the northernmost tip of the Marina Alta region, is a fishing town that became an international tourist destination in the 1960s thanks to the development of the coastline at the foot of the Peñón de Ifach, one of the natural landmarks of the Alicante Mediterranean, designated a Natural Park by the Valencian Regional Government in 1987. With the boom in tourism, the Calpe City Council promoted craft markets to provide a venue for local and regional artisans.
The Calp Arts and Crafts Market became established in the final decades of the 20th century and has continued to operate during the tourist seasons, forming part of the town’s cultural calendar. Its current role as a showcase for Alicante’s arts and crafts confirms its status as a regular summer event in the Marina Alta.
