“Calpe, por los buenos tratos" (Calpe, for a good relationship) is the title of a guide published by Calpe City Council, aimed primarily at young people to learn how to build healthy relationships and prevent violence against women.
The document deals with the myths of so-called romantic love and the close relationship it can have with gender-specific violence in relationships. Relationship alternatives are described in order to build healthy and thus egalitarian relationships.
The "Joanot Martorell" municipal library of Calpe had 18,000 readers in the first six months of the year.
Calpe has received a grant of 33,906 Euros from Turisme de la Generalitat Valenciana to adapt its network of trails to mountain biking.
This initiative is part of the measures to promote sports tourism and seasonal tourism in Calpe.
The City Council of Calpe (PP and Ciudadanos) decided in today's plenary session to reduce the IBI (property tax) by 5% for 2020. The measure, which affects all IBI revenues, was not supported by the opposition groups (PSOV-PSOE, Compromís and Defendamos Calpe), which call for a cadastral audit and examine other factors to favour the lowest incomes.
Other economic initiatives decided today are the modification of the vehicle tax to exempt people with disabilities and the free issue of registration forms for city residents.
