Conveniently situated, Empedrola is in an opportune location – it is always a short drive or leisurely stroll away from many activities and amenities found in the heart of Calpe. Apart from some of the Mediterranean’s most iconic beaches, Roman and medieval ruins, as well as the Las Salinas (a lagoon where migratory flamingos frequent), restaurants offering delectable international dishes are plentiful. On the other hand, the Cala de Les Bassetes port and serene Playa de la Fustera beach is 4 km away from Empedrola and provides a peaceful place for diving and fishing away from the crowds of Calpe’s more busy southern shores. This is further accentuated by the bountiful greenery and nature that fills Empedrola and carries on far into the distance of the region’s rolling hills and impressive mountain cliffs. The Serra d’Oltà nature preserve in particular is only 9 km away, holding an abundance of incredible hiking trails and breathtaking views looking down at the sprawling districts of Calpe and the stunning Mediterranean Sea.

With Calpe’s public transportation stations only 10 minutes away from Empedrola, trams depart regularly for Dénia and Benidorm while buses travel to a variety of locations including Murcia, Valencia, Alicante, Gandia, Javea, and Seville – insuring the neighbourhood is well-connected to its surroundings.
