Access to two of the urban paths of the city of Alicante, ascent to Mount Benacantil or the Parque de la Ereta, one hour and one and a half hours long, respectively. If you choose the Ereta, you can walk on the wall of Santa Bárbara Castle, a highly recommended experience.

It is a square tower of five by five meters on each side and twelve meters high, dating from the sixteenth century.The name comes from Botero, in Castilian, someone who manufactures boots. The towe was built with ashlars and masonry, with a door that rises almost two meters from the ground and holes in the walls at the height of each floor. It keeps its helical staircase that leads to each of its four floors (plus the ground floor). You will find it in the Camino del Benimagrell, number 33. There is a bike route to visit all emblematic towers in the city of Alicante.

At the end of March 1939, thousands of Republicans chose exile in the port of Alicante when they embarked on the Stanbrook and other vessels, thus escaping the impending repression. Many more, around fiteen thousand, were captured by the Italian fascist troops and interned in different places around the city. That is the way the Spanish Civil War ended and how the dictatorship began.

The sculpture "La Mariposa" was part of the exhibition of Manolo Valdés in the City of Arts and Sciences of Valencia and in the Place Vendôme in Paris. "La Mariposa" is an example of Valdés' way of working because it has its origin in an image he saw in New York's Central Park of a butterfly fluttering over a woman's head. Valdés took that image to his particular style based on dialogue with the history of art (the face of sculpture is based on Matisse's painting) and the appropriation of objects from everyday life.

With the passage of time, rainwater tanks have stopped being used, so those who remain standing begin to be a symbol and a memory that must be preserved. This deposit in the north of Alicante is a reference in the area and is admired by the people who live and pass by there.

It is a small square tower, consisting of ground floor and two floors, and topped by a terrace with cornice. On one of its sides there is a metal staircase that gives access to the roof, which suggests that the interior staircase is no longer preserved. Its low height and relatively large plant give it a voluminous, solid and noble appearance. It is devoid of battlements and ornaments.

The tower is solid on the ground floor. To get inside it was necessary to climb a ladder that connected with the first floor. This improved the defence of the fortress in case of attack. From the first floor you can ascend to the second floor and from there to the cover terrace. The base is made of plastered masonry and the corners are made with ashlar reinforcement. The tower has several loopholes at different levels in all its facades. There is a chapel in the complex that preserves paintings with allegories to divine justice, the theological virtues and several cherubs. The residential building was articulated by a large hall that still preserves two arches. To the left, there is a store that was also used as a stable. The service units were located at the back of the ground floor. The main space was destined to the lords of the estate. There is a basement that preserves the cellar, a very important space where many wines were produced. At the rear of the house there was a large pool of water, pens and several oil mills. The estate was completed by extensive orchards with olive trees, carob trees, fig trees, almond trees and fruit trees, irrigated with water from the small irrigation canal of Ansaldo. This canal belonged to the network of irrigation canals of Alacant’s cropland. The estate is named after the Ansaldo family, native to Genoa, who first came to Alacant during the reconquest in the thirteenth century, at which time they received several possessions in Almoradí. In the fifteenth century, a part of the family emigrated to America and another to Cartagena (Murcia), attracted by the socioeconomic conditions of the city. In the seventeenth century the family settled permanently in Alacant where they carried out a commercial activity, especially wine exports. Currently, there are different proposals from the municipality to address the restoration and to make the most of Finca Ansaldo, as a space for cultural use, or as a centre of interpretation of the Torres de l’Horta (cropland Towers). The site has been declared an Asset of Cultural Interest.

The Torre del Conde or Torre Conde is one of the coastal surveillance towers that are distributed by the Huerta de Alicante, in the city of Alicante (Spain). It is located in the vicinity of the entity of Santa Faz, on the path of the Huerta, between the paths of the beach of San Juan and Benimagrell road. It was built in the sixteenth century to protect the Huerta de Alicante from the incursions of pirates, and is part of the group of towers that were protected in 1997 with the declaration of Cultural Interest. It is a property of private property, being its owner in 1999 Rafaela Gómez Bardina, who kept it in total abandonment. In addition to the tower, the ruins of the house and winery that were built adjoining the fortification, so typical in Alicante's huerta, are preserved. At present it is restored, but again abandoned. It is a rectangular building with a height of more than 7.5 meters, divided into three levels and a semi-basement. Its factory is of mapostería with reinforcement of ashlars in the corners. The interior is accessed through a semicircular arch, and the levels are practicable by means of a spiral staircase.

This tower is an excellent example of military-defensive architecture adapted to the social circumstances of these centuries and it is known that at least 30 towers existed, of which many of them are properly cataloged, while others have disappeared completely . Its construction dates from the late sixteenth century. It is one of the smallest towers in the La Condomina area. With an almost square floor plan (5.90 x 6.90 m), it has a prismatic volume. It rises on a pyramidal plinth and has two levels on it. The original access is located on the level of the ground floor on the north facade, on which the remains of the old house to which it was attached and that was demolished clandestinely in the year 1982 can be seen. It seems that there was a semi-basement under the lower floor, coinciding with the base of the truncated pyramid, since there is a hollow with a lintel in a segmental arch that is currently blinded. The tower is broken. At least it lacks the cover and the auction of it (if a possible third floor has not been deleted). The interior conserves the old staircase, of helicoidal layout. The two slabs on the basement are made of wooden beams. The walls of the tower are of sillarejo factory covered with worn mortar, with ashlars in the corners and in the primitive hollows (the access and to the east), and have a thickness of almost 1 meter. Some ashlars present a good state of conservation, in some corner and in the plinth, reason why they must be of recent incorporation, since they are of different stone to the sandstone of their original factory.
