Living on Calle Balandro in Calp

Calle Balandros is located in a central, historically established area. It is a short residential street with a gentle slope and two-way traffic; sections of it fall within the projected coastal flood zones.

Location and terrain

The street is about 91 m long and runs northeast–southwest. Its elevation ranges from 3.3 to 5.6 m above sea level, with a difference of 2.3 m. The average gradient is about 2.5%, making it gentle.

Buildings and street character

There are two buildings on the street, used predominantly for residential purposes. The typical height is two storeys, with a maximum of eleven. Building heights vary: most buildings are noticeably lower than the tallest one.

Road and traffic

Traffic flows in both directions, with one lane on a single carriageway. The surface is paved—asphalt or another hard road surface, rather than dirt.

Flood zones

Under the projected scenario with an annual probability of about 1%, around 27 m of the street (29.3% of its length) lies within the potential coastal flood zone. Under the less frequent scenario, with an annual probability of about 0.2%, the zone covers around 29 m (31.4%). These are projected potential flood zones shown on official maps, not descriptions of events that have occurred.

What to bear in mind

The gentle slope is barely noticeable when walking. For a specific home, it is important to check whether the address falls within a potential flood zone.
