This large saltwater lagoon has a variety of wooden walkways installed to give close-up access to the birds, without having any effect on the precious ecosystem

Archaeologists have discovered the remains of Iberian tribes; a team of volunteers recently excavated the ruins of a Roman villa, forming part of a Roman fish factory, known as the Banys de la Reina. And its busy ports have historically been attacked by pirates, invaders and saboteurs. As a result, the old town is a patchwork of residential, commercial and defensive architecture influenced by various rulers. The Ifach golf course overlooks the ocean and you can find copious larger courses inland; boat owners can book a birth at the Real Club Náutico de Calpe. Jijona ice-cream, a nougat flavoured popular delicacy, uses locally grown almonds.
