The works of the second phase of Ecotourism Paseo de La Algaida, located on the left bank of the river Segura River as it passes through this hamlet, are nearing completion.

Once you enable this last stretch to pedestrians, walk total will reach over 1,300 meters long, from the old factory of Iberdrola to the beginning of the municipality of Lorquí.

This last section is running from the Bridge of Torrao until the end of the term archenero across the banks of the Segura, with a length of 770 meters.

This second phase will consist in its construction by the same elements as the first phase, ie, fine gravel for walks artificial compacted, and a 95 meter rail timber special Patagonia.

It will also be equipped with rustic-type urban facilities and signage consistent with the type of action.

That is, the equipment includes wooden benches, litter bins and signs the interpretation of itineraries.

The budget for this work amounts to more than 30,000 euros.

This second phase will join the already completed the Ecotourism Path Algaida starts his journey at the gates of the old factory at La Luz and inaugurated the last days before Christmas.

The two phases of the greenway algaidero join Spot through the Dead River Archena Riverside Drive, which reaches Archena Spa facilities, so we consider the whole of this walk as the largest existing in the Region Murcia.

This path has been executed with a strong artificial gravel compacted to protect the river's edge with wooden handrail, providing the same type of street furniture rustic above.

It is also at this stage repopulating the river bank with native trees in riparian forest for better integration into the landscape.

The star of this action will remain without doubt the type of wood used in the rail, since it has been chosen to "quebracho colorado de la Patagonia."

It is a material of extreme hardness and strength, very compact and dense and can withstand heat and weather major changes without damage.

This wood will become increasingly darker, which gives it the characteristic that gives the name "colorao" and of course "quebracho or bankruptcy-ax" for his great strength.
