Living on Calle Dinamarca in Calp

Calle Dinamarca is located in the Morello district. It is a short residential street with almost level terrain; traffic flows in both directions, and part of the street lies within mapped coastal flood zones.

Location and terrain

The street is about 175 m long and runs from northeast to southwest. Its elevation above sea level ranges from 2.3 to 3.2 m, a difference of 0.9 m. The average gradient is about 0.6%, so the street is virtually flat.

Buildings and street character

There are seven buildings on the street, mostly residential. The typical height is seven storeys, with a maximum of 23. Building heights vary: most of the houses are noticeably shorter than the tallest building.

Road and traffic

Traffic flows in both directions. The carriageway usually has two lanes; the surface is paved, not unpaved.

Flood zones

These are mapped areas that could be affected by coastal flooding according to official maps, not descriptions of events that have occurred. Under the T=100 scenario, corresponding to an annual probability of about 1%, around 81 m of the street—46.6% of its length—falls within the zone. Under the less frequent T=500 scenario, with an annual probability of about 0.2%, the zone covers around 127 m, or 73% of the street.

What to bear in mind

The slight gradient makes almost no noticeable difference during ordinary walking. If you are considering a particular home, check whether its address lies within the mapped zone: it does not cover the entire street, and its extent depends on the scenario.
