"CALPE. GEOGRAPHY, HISTORY, HERITAGE".

The Culture Council of Calpe Town Council has published the book "Calpe, Geography, History and Heritage" by Abel Soler, PhD in philology and history. It is the most complete book on these local subjects of those produced so far.

The book takes a look at Calpe´s  history over the last 2000 years, summarising and revising everything previously published on the municipality, introducing new contributions and documents, as well as the great transformations of contemporary Calpe and its heritage, from "Els Banys de la Reina" to the Bofill buildings.

According to the author, Abel Soler, the book is "an essential guide to get to know the municipality, it is structured around three parts: geography as a setting, the town and its the history and the characters of Calpe and a third part which is the heritage, ranging from the sites of La Pobla or "Banys de la Reina", to the Arab Castellet or Bofill's buildings. It is an informative document, a research work of many months that uses all the information elaborated so far and at the same time tries to fill gaps and brings interesting novelties".

Abel Soler has a PhD in Medieval History from the University of Alicante and in Catalan Philology from the University of Valencia.

He is a specialist in historical, geographical, and patrimonial divulgation. He has many publications on the local history of different counties and municipalities of the Valencia Region
