Living on Avenida del Puerto in Calp

Avenida Port (Avenida Port, del) is located in the Ifach district. It is a long residential street with an almost flat gradient, a mix of traffic patterns, and buildings that vary considerably in height.

Location and terrain

The street is about 1.0 km long and runs from northwest to southeast. Its elevation ranges from 1.2 to 10.4 m above sea level, with a difference of about 9.1 m. The average gradient is about 1.5%: by this measure, the street is almost flat.

Buildings and street character

There are 11 buildings on the street, most of them residential. The typical building has about three storeys, while the tallest has 15: building heights are varied, and most buildings are noticeably shorter than the tallest one.

Road and traffic

Traffic patterns are mixed, with both one-way and two-way sections. On one-way sections, traffic generally heads east. There are usually two lanes on a single carriageway, though some sections have one. The road has a hard surface—that is, it is asphalt or another paved surface, not dirt.

What to keep in mind

The almost flat gradient does not create a noticeable strain during a normal walk. Since the traffic pattern changes from one section to another, drivers should check the rules for the specific stretch of the street.
