NIGHT ROUTES IN LA MATA NATURAL PARK: JULY AND AUGUST:

By the light of the summer moon, we'll reveal the Laguna de la Mata to you as the sun begins to set. At night, darkness envelops everything, sharpening our senses and immersing us in the magic and mystery of this wetland… a different light, different sounds, different living beings.

TRAILS IN THE MOLINO DEL AGUA MUNICIPAL NATURAL AREA:

The Molino del Agua Natural Area, in La Mata, is a perfect example of the extensive dune system that once predominated on the coast of the province of Alicante and today has seen its presence greatly reduced.

In this area, you'll find a replica of the watermill, one of the few freshwater wells located near the coast. This well was used by workers in the salt industry. Meeting point: parking lot located on Avenida de Soria, next to the La Mata footpath.
