Fifty points of interest

BICYCLE riders now have five more cycling routes covering more than 100 kilometres with which to enjoy the Vega Baja.

The itineraries cover 16 municipalities, showing 50 points of interest between azarbes, irrigation channels and waterwheels to discov‐er the traditional irrigation system and the culture of water in the region, as well as the crop fields and the di‐versity of the landscape.

The mayor added: “Ali ‐cante has everything it needs to host this event. Our climate, the comfort of our infrastructures, our ex‐perience in other sailing competitions such as the Ocean Race or the Tabarca a Vela regatta.”

“Alicante is committed to women’s sailing and equality in sport which has made us an excellent host for the best sailors in Spain to play for the title here.”

The Iberdrola League 2023 is the only Spanish circuit dedicated to wom‐en’s one‐design cruiser sail‐ing.

The cycling routes, which have required design, plan‐ning and signposting work, audiovisual information material and a virtual tour for each of the routes with 360º images have been produced, and have re‐quired an investment of around €150,000.

The 120 kilometres that make up the five routes al‐low you to soak up the smells and colours of the fields, observe the diverse landscape of the Vega Baja and its environmental val‐ue and visit around 50 points of interest.
