The GR 92 is the typical Iberian long-distance trail, stretching along the entire Mediterranean coast from the French border to Tarifa. Nearly a thousand individuals participated in the popular vote, and more than 400 ballots were cast for Stage 22, which runs through Torrevieja, Orihuela, and Pilar de la Horadada.
Additionally, stage 21, which links the cities of Torrevieja and Guardamar del Segura, is a competitor for these honours. Thanks to cooperative efforts with the municipalities whose borders this long-distance trail passes through, both stages are part of the same design and signage project promoted by Convega and are the only officially recognised routes of the Mediterranean Trail in the entire Valencian Community.
The attractions of the coastline
Stage 22 of the award-winning trail is about 20 km long and has an estimated walking duration of 4 hours and 40 minutes .
Starting from Torrevieja’s Juan Aparicio promenade, which is close to the Port and the Levante Dike, the route travels along the coast to enclaves of high environmental significance like Cala Lo Ferrís, which has a distinctive palm tree scenery and pristine seas.
The journey continues towards the municipality of Orihuela, passing through prominent areas such as Cala Mosca, Cabo Roig and Punta de La Glea , where there is a micro-reserve of flora of more than six hectares that contains more than fifty species typical of the Mediterranean ecology.
The path continues to Pilar de la Horadada, where exceptional heritage sites stand out, such as the Roman quarries of the Río Seco , a genuine open-air museum by the ocean, and the Torre de la Horadada , proclaimed a Site of Cultural Interest, located on El Conde beach. Playa del Mojón, on the Valencian Community’s southern border with the Region of Murcia, is where the stage comes to a finish.
The Vega Baja del Segura region’s two coastal regions are included in a single regional project. They total almost 50 kilometres, going by some thirty areas of interest . Convega, under the umbrella of the Vega Baja del Segura territorial brand – your land and mine – with the support of the Alicante Provincial Council and the municipalities of the region, has been responsible for certifying the entire route, designing the itinerary, and marking it with information panels and vertical (posts and arrows) and horizontal (red and white paint markings) signage. These routes also include educational booklets, a promotional movie, and a 360-degree virtual tour.The attractions of the coastline
