San Vicente del Raspeig has the highest vertical garden in Spain, with a height of six floors, 340 square meters of surface area and 34,000 trees planted on the wall. This landscape landmark, located in front of the new City Hall and next to the Children's Library, is one of the most emblematic urban references of the municipality. The garden has a selected plantation of indigenous herbaceous and shrub species with reduced water consumption and maintenance, with the capacity to offer a variety of colors and flowering at different times of the year. It has a double system of internal drip irrigation and vaporization of soda for leaves and flowers outdoors. The Vertical Garden acts as a natural filter against dust and polluting gases, as a producer of oxygen, acoustic barrier and increases the biodiversity of the city with the settlement of birds and insects.

The drawings of ants with embedded tiles makes many know this as Plaza de las Hormigas. In it we can find the trunk of a large centenary olive tree, games for children (a large slide shaped like an ant), petanque courts, as well as a biosaludable playground.

Next to Bañeres, at the foot of the Serra de Mariola, from which the town takes its surname and its fresh and clean air, is the Molí L'Ombria. It is a place where you have to come from time to time to breathe and disconnect. You can organize a picnic in the recreational area and spend a pleasant day listening to the lullaby of the birds and the flow of the Vinalopó River that runs there.

In the boundary between the Gulfs of Valencia and Alicante, visitors may view the “Cabo de La Nao” as the closest point on the peninsula to the island of Ibiza. Its exceptionally natural beauty makes it an essential place to visit. In fact, the Council of the Environment highlights its Plant Microreserve. At the base of the cape, it is possible to visit the famous Cave:: Cova dels Orguens, a natural cave described by the Naturalist Cavanilles at the end of the 18th Century. It also has coves which are suggestive refuges from the Mediterranean Sea.

Throughout history, a varied and suggestive archaeological and monumental heritage has been created along the Tarafa River, the most significant samples of which are distributed along the stretch of channel between the Hondo de las Fuentes and the Minera de Barrenas. They are just 3 kilometers in which they are counted, as if it were an open-air museum, the results of the many efforts that our ancestors had to make to take advantage of the last drop of Tarafa water. In the territory where we find the Tarafa river, of semi-arid nature, the presence of water courses of a temporary or permanent nature has an important effect on the landscape, since in these enclaves we find deep and humid soils that allow the development of exuberant plant formations like the olmedas and alamedas. The use of its springs favored the existence of three irrigated orchards, at least since the Middle Ages: Aljau, Fauquí and Huerta Mayor. To this period we owe the planning and construction of the hydraulic systems necessary to collect and distribute the water for the existing lands on both sides of the channel. To this end, small catchments were built that retained these waters, elevated them and diverted them, taking them through an extensive network of ditches several kilometers away. This activity has left an imprint on the land that still lasts, and that we can still contemplate when we walk along the river and its surroundings. We will find the remains of these dams, ditches and up to three aqueducts mark this patrimonial route along the urban park of the Tarafa River. The first of them, the Iron Channel, a magnificent example of iron architecture built in 1890. Or the aqueduct of Perceval, rebuilt in the mid-nineteenth century with a solid architecture and perfectly integrated into its environment. And the last one, the one in the Acequia de la Huerta Mayor, built in the 19th century. Walking along the river we will discover drainage galleries dug in its bed to favor the water coming out of the springs, like those of the rafica or the Mine of Barrenas. Also remains of laundries such as the Hondo de las Fuentes or the house of the Rafica; or ruins of mills such as Mindán, built in 1844, which tell us about traditional activities that have already disappeared. And we will pass under the bridge of the Bath, reconstructed in 1850 next to a low medieval castle, that of the Aljau.

This space has more than 8 hectares. It is located in the municipality of Onil, in the L’alcoià region, at the foot of the Onil mountain range. It is, without a doubt, one of the most complete in the entire provincial network, due to the number and quality of its facilities and the natural environment. In it we can visit and get to know four different areas, representative in turn of traditional environments of the province of Alicante, which allow us, in a single space, to get an idea of ​​the natural wealth and diversity of our province. There is an agricultural area, in which some traditional Alicante crops are shown, such as the almond and olive tree, along with species of fruit trees, also present in Alicante (such as the cherry tree) and an orchard, with typical species of the different times of the year . A small greenhouse completes this space. Welcome to Casa Tápena The Mediterranean Garden, a leisure area where you can stroll or rest among native garden species, listening to the sound of the water. A wetland, which takes advantage of the spring or "mine" of water to create a small naturalized pond in which to observe aquatic species. Finally, on the other side of the road, a small Aleppo pine forest, so typical in our province, through which you can walk and relax. These recreated environments are joined by the presence of some examples of monumental trees (centenary), especially some pines, holm oaks and a strawberry tree. The latter is one of the largest in the province equipment Casa Tápena has a wide range of leisure activities.
