Free guided nature walks in La Mata and Molino del Agua parks offered year-round

What is on offer? According to TorreviejActual, Torrevieja offers a programme of free guided nature walks throughout the year. These tours are designed to help people discover the most important natural areas in the municipality, including the Parque Natural de las Lagunas de La Mata y Torrevieja (the salt lagoons nature park) and the Molino del Agua Municipal Natural Area. ## What do the tours cover? The routes allow participants to learn about the biodiversity of the parks, the history of the salt flats, and the unique landscapes of the southern Alicante coast. One route, called 'The Great Secret of the Lagoon', is an interpretive walk through the Laguna de La Mata, focusing on the park’s ecosystems, flora, fauna, and the history of the salt flats. Another excursion is dedicated to birdwatching, highlighting the park’s importance as a Mediterranean wetland for migrating birds. There is also a walk through the traditional vineyards of La Mata, combining nature, landscape, and local agricultural history. In the Molino del Agua Municipal Natural Area, a route explores the dune system and typical Mediterranean coastal vegetation. ## When do the tours take place? The walks are organised throughout the year. During the summer months, night tours are held to discover the park at sunset and learn about the wildlife that appears after dark. The listing gives 7 October 2026, 10:00-12:30, at the Nature Reserve Visitor Centre, but does not say which route takes place then or that the tour starts there.
