The Natural Park of the La Mata and Torrevieja lagoons is between the municipalities of Torrevieja, Guardamar and Los Montesinos. It is considered one of the most important European wetlands, which is why they are part of Lista Mar, a list of natural areas created in 1960 in France. Qualified "of international importance", they have the status of SPA and since 1994 it is a Natural Park. Located in a depressed area closed to the sea, the lagoons communicate with the Mediterranean through channels such as the Acequión; the water enters by gravity and floods the La Mata lagoon that acts as a preheater. In turn, the two lagoons are linked through another channel, so that the water previously heated in La Mata passes to the Torrevieja lagoon where the salt is extracted once it has crystallized. The Visitor Center is located in the old Forest House of the hamlet of La Mata (Torrevieja), located about 400 m from the N-332 Alicante - Cartagena, at km 64.5 point. Access to the Visitor Center is made from the national road by a paved road. Staff: 2 environmental educators. 1 Technical Service of Management of Protected Natural Areas CITMA. Hours of attention to the visitor: From 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (Monday to Friday) From 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. (Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) Days that the center will remain closed: January 1 and 6 and December 24, 25 and 31. Walking route: The Route on foot, has an itinerary in which most of the ecosystems of the park are present. The route allows to contemplate a wide panoramic of all the park, the fauna and the flora, the typical vegetal formations and the birds, true protagonists in any humid zone. The Acequión is an artificially open channel to allow the entry of sea water that constitutes a small representation of the marine habitat. There are species of marine fauna and flora such as crabs, algae, actinias, posidonia, worms, polychaetes, fish, etc. Water enters La Mata by gravity, because the lagoon is lower than sea level. From here you can observe the salt marsh vegetation, located on the banks of the lagoon. These plants have internal juices with high salt concentrations in order to withstand the high saline concentration of the soil and the high temperatures without dehydration. Some of them eliminate the excess of salt by the leaves, which gives them a whitish color. From the Observatory you can see the different waterfowl of the lagoon. According to the time in which the traveler makes the visit, you can see different types of birds, since some of them stop at this place to rest and feed on their long trip to Africa, while others spend the winter because where they live , the Arctic tundra, normally has uninhabitable conditions in this epoch. In spring they return to their usual home. Other birds, on the other hand, live throughout the year in the Park. They are sedentary. At this stop you can see gulls, plovers, stilts, avocets and terns, flamingos and black-necked grebes. The silence at this point must be total to avoid frightening the birds. The third stop on the road occurs in Pinada. From the distance we can already see the reed, a typical plant in this type of zones whose presence denotes the existence of fresh water. In this last stop there is an important set of Aleppo pine and stone pine as well as eucalyptus trees. The latter are the result of artificial repopulation. Also in La Pinada you can see an important salt marsh area. The visitor can look for the signs left by the animals in their path, try to differentiate the different types of pine trees or, simply, rest under a shadow. In any case you can enjoy your stay in the Park. The fourth stop is the El Zampullín observatory. In the Natural Park, concentrations of thousands of Grebes have been counted, becoming the main wintering point of the Iberian Peninsula. The Mata is an area of ​​rest and feeding during the migration of the birds.

Formerly it was called Plaza de Elche, de las Horcas, Real de Fernando VII, Constitution (alternating these last two several times), the Generalissimo and, after the inauguration of the current Plaza de la Montañeta, regained its traditional name of Portal de Elche. It is divided into four parterres with a main axis, where its typical kiosk is located, replica of the central kiosk demolished in the 1970s to install a pool that for years housed the sculpture "like a star" by Eusebio Sempere. In the four corners of the square were small kiosks. Its trees are characteristic, with four Ficus macrophylla of enormous size that are protected by the Law when their trunk exceeds a perimeter of 6 m and a height of 1.30 m from the base.

The square of Gabriel Miró is a square located in the city of Alicante (Spain). It is also popularly known as Plaza de Correos, in memory of the main offices of the Correos y Telégrafos State Society that were located in the plaza. Known since ancient times as Plaza de las Barcas, because boats could reach it. Later it was named Plaza de Isabel II and finally baptized with its current name, in memory of the writer Gabriel Miró, illustrious son of the city. It has a round shape and its elements include several hundred-year-old Ficus, the monument to Gabriel Miró or the fountain of the Aguadora, designed by Vicente Bañuls from Alicante in 1918.

The park is located in the area known as La Goteta, next to Virgen de las Injurias street, behind a commercial complex and in front of the Sierra de San Julián. It has a wide extension and has a garden area, space for children's games equipped with bouncy devices and castles, as well as an area for sports, as well as benches and spaces covered with parasols. Pepe Marín Guerrero, an official and journalist, was a longtime editor of La Verdad, responsible for the areas of politics and labor.

To the park of La Ereta you have to go without haste, wanting to fill the eyes of Alicante and cultivate the senses. Located on the slopes of Mount Benacantil, from it we contemplate some of the most spectacular views of Alicante. Only surpassed by the views that, a few meters above, dominate from the Castle of Santa Barbara. It is a modern park whose construction has taken into account environmental aspects and symbiosis of the built with the environment, has native vegetation and a pleasant organic urban furniture. We recommend that you feel and enjoy the sound of the fountains while you contemplate the magnificent views that this park gives you. La Ereta looks towards the genuine Barrio de Santa Cruz. From the park, which occupies almost seven hectares, you can contemplate the Cathedral of San Nicolás, the Port, almost touch the 'Cara del Moro', the famous icon of Alicante, and admire in all its splendor the Mediterranean Sea. Being next to the Old Town has the great attraction of allowing to walk around the wall of the Castle, which is restored, in an impressive walk where we have Alicante and the Mediterranean at the foot. Of recent construction is the House of Santa Claus, the home that the endearing Christmas character has in Alicante. In the months close to Christmas the house opens for the children to make their wishes come to Santa Claus himself, who receives them and sits on his knees to know if they have been good. And at the same time, children can throw their cards in the well of wishes. In 1994 works began to build on this steep terrain a public park that allowed to enjoy the privileged views and also was a center of leisure and culture. Due to the orography, the park is segmented into terraces, adapting to the terrain and decorated with native flora. The park of La Ereta has a large central square, paths that meander along the hillside, shady areas, fountains, a cafeteria, an entertainment area that, as anecdote we tell you, has underground dressing rooms, a panoramic restaurant, and an exhibition hall. Due to the peculiar morphology of La Ereta, its construction was a challenge that managed to become an interesting architectural work. The lower part of the park is in direct contact with the Historical Quarter and therefore the character of the places and the vegetation is more urban. Continuing up to the Castle, the visitor goes through different spaces such as the hillside of the olive trees, the Plaza de la Ereta and the pines, and then the vegetation of local holm oak and the dispersed grasses in the highest part. In the park, retaining walls and ditches have been built for the waters that go down the mountain, with drainages capable of absorbing the torrential rains for such a steep place. The main elements of La Ereta are closely linked to important uses, in this way, the boundary is a path that borders the lower part and ensures the collection of rainwater; the terraces of the hillside of the olive trees stabilize the soil, limit erosion, and act like a huge sponge when it rains intensely. Simultaneously, the land becomes a retaining wall and finally, the buildings form a body with Mount Benacantil and its new structure.
