Calpe bathed in colour

by the town hall. The winning association decorated Calle la Font, where they made different crochet tapestries as well as marine figures such as fish, algae and starfish, in order to represent the Mediterranean Sea.

Second prize went to the Nativity Scene Association of Calpe, who has decorated Calle Sant Josep, also with marine motifs and represented some stairs emulating the Bofill buildings and in a mural, Calpe rock.

The Marins Corsaris Association received the third prize. This entity represented the winemaking process on Calle La Font, from the harvesting of grapes until they are served in a glass.

The sum of €3,000 was awarded to first prize, €2,000 to the second and €1,000 to the third.

The street decoration contest, along with bal ­ conies decorated by 41 local painters, turn the old town of Calpe into an open ­ air museum during the summer months, an extra attraction for visitors and residents to enjoy the town’s historic centre.
