It is the oldest park to visit in Alicante. José González Altés designed it in 1886 and it contains some magnificent ficus of more than one hundred years old, that make company to some statues of lions and dogs and the commemorative monument to Carlos Arniches, Alicante member of the "Generación del 98". Good place to walk under the trees in the hot summer days.

Park with children's area, lake with wild species and European continent reproduction on scale.

Wetland declared of international importance to be included in the list RAMSAR, likewise protected as a Natural Park, and declared by a European Directive Area of ​​Special Importance for Birds. The visitor center is located in the same building as the Salt Museum: Av. Zaragoza, 45. Postcode: 03130 Santa Pola (Alicante). The Salinas de Santa Pola Natural Park has an area of ​​2,470 hectares, located in the coastal area of ​​Santa Pola Bay. The salt exploitation since the late nineteenth century, has allowed the survival of Las Salinas, where the presence of flamingos and stilts is constant. The dynamics of Las Salinas consists of circulating sea water through a circuit of rafts to obtain the concentration of salts as a consequence of evaporation. Birds feed on fish and invertebrates that penetrate into salt flats, while salt production It benefits from the mineral wealth provided by the avifauna. Yellow route: The Pinet 3.8 Km. Estimated time: 2 h. 15 m. Not suitable for cycling. This itinerary is located in the SE part. of the Natural Park where we can observe some of the most representative environments of the Natural Park, such as the salt marsh and the dune ecosystem. This starts in old salt ponds now in disuse for exploitation but that maintain the water circuit and with it its great biological richness. Following a narrow path between the banks of these and parallel to the dune cord and the beach line, visitors can see on their left the old pre-concentrating rafts with their abundant population of birds such as flamingos, avocets, stilts, common egrets, redshanks, plovers, black-and-white needles, charrancitos, etc. The abundance or presence of the different species of birds will depend on the time of year. On its shores grows an important salt marsh vegetation with species such as bogs, barley plants and limonios or saladillas which develop curious adaptations to the great concentration of salt in the soil, being easily observable in the naked parts and especially in summer a crust of whitish salt covering the floor. Along this path runs the entrance channel of sea water to the rafts, formerly to obtain salt and today to ensure the life there is in them. To the right of the path, the slopes of the last dunes are reached, appreciating how the vegetation changes when you go from a saline soil to a sandy soil, this way you can see the progressive change of a salt marsh vegetation to an intermediate vegetation of albardín, bufalaga, junco, reaching a proper dune vegetation formed by cuernecillo, esparaguera, creudeta, etc. and another one of repopulation formed by piteras, carpobrotus, pines, pines and eucalyptus. A kilometer from the start, the itinerary turns right into the dunes, crossing you until you reach the beach. In this section the visitor will make a tour of the different kinds of dunes. In the first place you will find the fixed dunes named for the repopulation of pines and eucalyptus that was made in the early s. XX in order to control the progress of the sands, the semi-fixed dunes, where the vegetation is scarce and smaller in size, where dune species such as the cuernecillo, baró, marine thistle, sea caterpillar, etc. predominate. to the first line of dunes where you can see some of them mobile which are not covered by any type of vegetation and are easily transported by the wind. The fauna that inhabits this area is represented mainly by reptiles such as ocellated lizard, lizard coliroja, lizard colilarga, bastard snake; mammals such as shrews, shrews, field mice, rabbits and hares; small birds such as tarabillas, shrikes and cogujadas; The presence of beetles is also important. From this point you start the return to the beginning of the itinerary through the first line of dunes enjoying a nice panoramic view with the sea in the background from where you can see the cape of Santa Pola with the city at your feet, the island of Tabarca, the mouth of the Segura River and the entire coastline to Cabo Cervera in Torrevieja.

The Plaza del Molino occupies an area of 4,000 square meters and its uniqueness is that it is in an old reconstructed windmill, an exact replica of those that existed in Torrevieja during the 19th century to grind grain and salt.

The Cabezon de Oro (in Valencian, Cabeçó d'Or) is a mountain range located in the province of Alicante and the main peak of the sierra, belonging to the municipal districts of Jijona, Relleu and Busot. 1210 meters above sea level. Through it several hiking trails of varying difficulty. The ancient spa of Aguas de Busot, now in ruins, was filled with hot springs. In spite of what its name would literally indicate, "Cabezón de Oro", or of the old gold mine that would exist in the place, the word Gold does not make reference to the ore of the gold, but to the water. In fact, during the Al-Andalus period, the Arabs kept the Iberian word "Ur" to refer to this mountain, which means "Water", since water flowed inside it (Cuevas de Canelobre). After the conquest and Christian repopulation, it was transliterated phonetically (and not semantically) to the Valencian "Or" and to the Castilian "Oro". Thus, "Cabezón de Oro" would come to mean something similar to "Cabezo de Aguas". There is a local popular legend, probably of Mudejar origin, in which the intelligence of the Christian conquerors is ridiculed because they believe that there is gold in the place, when in reality it is water.

The Racó de Sant Bonaventura-Canalons Municipal Natural Park, with an area of ​​18.34 hectares, is located in the municipality of Alcoy in the province of Alicante. The Racó de Sant Bonaventura-Canalons, which coincides with the upper section of the Polop river, is notable for presenting a water course throughout the year with the flora and vegetation characteristic of this type of ecosystem and for presenting a high landscape value with large Roquedos carved on the limestone by the erosive action of the river. Special mention deserves its status as an ecological corridor between the Natural Park of Carrascal de la Font Roja and the Sierra de Mariola. This Racó is one of the emblematic enclaves of the municipality of Alcoy, given the great tradition that exists among the alcoyanos of frequenting this enclave as a recreational area, due to its proximity to the urban center. It was declared a Municipal Natural Area by Agreement of the Council of the Valencian Autonomous Government dated February 8, 2002. The most relevant environmental unit in the Municipal Natural Area is Ribera and Zonas de Agua. The characteristic vegetation has been relegated to small redoubts where you can still see poplars and willows. The fauna, on the other hand, is better preserved. Between the reptiles it emphasizes the water snake and the European terrapin, and among the fish the madrilla. In the Natural Area, several environmental units are distinguished, such as: • Banks and water areas • Aleppo pine forests with shrubby vegetation • Agricultural crops

This 10,000 m2 recreation area was opened in April of 1996. It is located in Urbanización La Merced, near the church of the same name. The signposted area consists of a green space of great ecological value full of trees and regional vegetation. Its facilities include a gravel walking trail, sports fields and playgrounds, barbecues, rustic street furniture and restrooms.

Another area worth visiting in the L´Aigüera Park, designed by the architect Ricardo Bofill. It is a long green park in neoclassical style, separating the old quarter from the area of more recent construction. The two amphitheaters are used for shows and cultural events mainly in summer. The park ends at the Bullring and at a fairground site where attractions are set up for the many 'fiestas'.

The Bolulla River is a tributary of the Algar. Which is best known for its highly visited Fonts del Algar or Fuentes del Algar (which in summer is full of people and the entrance is paid. It is very well maintained and worthwhile). But this pool with its waterfall is not paid, and, although it is not so large, it is worth a visit and more if the good weather accompanies, because one can take a good refreshing bath of cold water. We recommend booties or similar and always be careful when bathing in river water. There are companies that make canyoning through this ravine and the waterfalls it generates. For the more adventurous it is an ideal way to spend a good summer day.
