Jasmine Harman is coming to the help of schoolteachers Dominic and Helen from Leicestershire who met at work 26 years ago! Their dream is to buy a holiday home in the seaside town of Calpe on Spain’s Costa Blanca for them and their two children to enjoy whenever they like. They have a budget of £130,000 and Jasmine has 5 great options but will they love any enough to put in an offer?
About the area
The best way to get to Calpe on the Costa Blanca in south eastern Spain is to fly into Alicante airport which takes around two and a half hours from the UK – then it’s about an hour’s drive Calpe is best known for El Penon de Ifach, the thousand foot tall rock which dominates the landscape here. You can climb it, but if you prefer your holidays to be a bit more sedate there are loads of great beaches to relax on, not to mention dozens of bars and restaurants to enjoy the view from. The surrounding area is a good mix of coastal resorts and pretty hillside towns and villages, meaning there are tons of options here when it comes to property.
