Torrevieja cycling tour to visit several municipal parks on 31 October

Torrevieja will hold a cycling tour of several municipal parks on Saturday 31 October, organised by the Department of Parks and Gardens and Actúa, the company responsible for maintaining the city’s green spaces. The ride will start and finish at Parque de las Naciones and is open to residents and visitors.

The ride is due to set off at 9.30 am and will last approximately two hours. The route will pass by the Municipal Cemetery, Doña Sinforosa Park, Torre del Moro Park and Parque Aromático.

Places are limited and registration is required at inscripciones@actuasm.es. Participants must bring their own bicycle, a helmet and water. The event is open to people of all ages who can complete the route by bicycle or using adapted accessories; children must be accompanied by an adult.

The event, called «Ruta en bici por los parques de Torrevieja – Autumn Edition», aims to introduce these green spaces to people who live in the city and those visiting it. The organisers see this autumn edition as the start of a possible programme at other times of year, with new routes through municipal parks.

The ride is a recreational activity and is not part of the cycle-network expansion works announced by the Town Hall in July. That project has received IVACE-FEDER funding of €206,000, excluding VAT, to build 3,700 metres of new cycle lanes between avenida Delfina Viudes, the Ciudad Deportiva, avenida de la Mancha and calle Gabriela Mistral.

The municipal bylaw allows people to cycle in designated areas, on internal paths and in open paved areas of green spaces, provided that visitor numbers allow it and other users are not disturbed.
