ookshop Europa in Calpe opened in January 1999. It is the largest bookshop of any kind between Alicante and Valencia, both in stock and square feet. It serves many regular customers from Dénia to Alicante, and even further.

The shop has a range of topics
Fiction and non-fiction, literature, biographies, crime, art, photography, science, books for children and young people, gift books, travel guides and maps (including local ordnance survey maps), cookbooks, dictionaries and more.

As well as books in English you will also find a selection in Spanish, French, German, Italian and Russian.

ne can order any book in print and also books which are out of print. English books are a little more expensive than in England. Most books can be ordered in about one week. If you live far from Calpe, books can be sent to you by post or courier.

Second-hand books
There is also a section with second-hand books. One can buy these books for 50 cents each, or exchange books “one for one.” For every book you bring, you can take one secondhand book, without paying.

Gifts
Should you wish to send a gift to someone in England or elsewhere, it can be sent directly from the UK publisher via Royal Mail to any destination worldwide. This will save you packaging, queuing at the post office, and relying on the Spanish post. One can also arrange for the books to be gift-wrapped and to add a greeting message.
