ARCHIVED - New trails to explore Alicante coastline: November 7 and 21
ARCHIVED ARTICLE
The two walks offer a chance to discover the charms of Tabarca Island and Cabo de la Huerta on the Costa Blanca
The City Council has launched new trails along Alicante's coastline, focusing on two of the city's most "emblematic coastal environmental enclaves: the island of Tabarca and Cabo de la Huerta".
"These two locations are closely linked to the seafaring history of Alicante, and both are environmentally rich and unique landscapes. We will continue to schedule new trails and routes to promote some of the most unique places within Alicante's Urban Path Network, a network that very few people are actually aware of," explained Councillor for the Environment, Manuel Villar.
The first walk will take place on Sunday November 7, meeting in the audiovisual room of the Nueva Tabarca Museum, where there will be an exhibit of old photographs depicting life on Tabarca Island over the years, and a short documentary film about the relationship between humans and the sea.
From here, participants will then complete a circular route along a nature trail, taking in the Tower of San José, the farmhouse, lighthouse, la Mina (a tiny beach behind the marina), before reaching the Puerta de San Rafael, also known as the Puerta de Levante, at around 2.30pm.
On Sunday November 21, there's a great opportunity to explore Cabo de la Huerta, with two groups to cater for all ages and abilities. Both meet at La Albufereta beach at 10am.
The first group will complete 9km, passing through Almadraba beach, Cala Judíos, Cala Cantalar, Cala Palmera, to tCabo de la Huerta lighthouse and back. There is public transport for those who don't want to walk back.
The second group will follow a 5.5km circular route to the upper area of the Cala Cantalar nature reserve which forms part of the Valencia Community Sites of Community Importance (SCI) within the Natura 2000 Network (European Union).
"In both cases, there is the added attraction of spotting coastal or marine birds, such as the great cormorant or the Audouin's gull endemic to the Mediterranean coast," added Villar.
The routes will be led by two environmental guides, and there will be a maximum of 50 people in each group. Masks must be worn.
