The Association for Integrated Rural Development of the Municipalities of Vega del Segura (ADRI) aims to highlight the attractions of the Segura River's riverside landscape, including its waterwheels and swimming in its waters.<\/p>\n
And also its unique buildings such as the Teodoro or Cebolla flour mill from the 15th century, located in Cieza, which is the starting point of this route that will culminate at the Bishop's Tower, in the place known as Huerta de Abajo de Alguazas.<\/p>\n
And it was precisely at the aforementioned mill that the route was presented this Monday morning, attended by representatives of the ADRI Vega del Segura group, the Autonomous Community, as well as mayors and councilors from the various towns through which this natural route passes, as well as representatives from the agricultural sector.<\/p>\n
The rural tourist route will connect the municipalities of Cieza, Abar\u00e1n, Blanca, Ricote, Oj\u00f3s, Ulea, Villanueva, Archena, Lorqu\u00ed, Ceut\u00ed, Alguazas, and Molina de Segura.<\/p>\n
'Walking through the Vega' was presented as the route that will link, over more than thirty kilometers and bordering the Segura River, 12 municipalities in the Vega Media and Vega Alta: Cieza, Abar\u00e1n, Blanca, Ricote, Oj\u00f3s, Ulea, Villanueva, Archena, Lorqu\u00ed, Ceut\u00ed, Alguazas, and Molina de Segura; with two variants: one in Ricote and another from Alguazas to Molina de Segura.<\/p>\n
The goal of this trail, designed by the ADRI Vega del Segura Local Action Group, with a budget of 120,000 euros and expected to be completed and operational within six months, is to develop rural tourism in the Vega del Segura region around the river itself.<\/p>\n
"This project highlights the importance of the Segura River in this region. Furthermore, it encourages tourism through hiking," emphasized Antonio Moya, Cieza's Councilor for Agriculture and Tourism.<\/p>\n
The route's design took into account the idiosyncrasies and particularities of each municipality, while maintaining a common focus. The goal is also to respect the environment and native species, diversifying the rural economy and preventing their disappearance. Likewise, the route is equipped with appropriate QR code technological signage so pedestrians always know where they are.<\/p>\n
"This is the start of a major project that the entire Local Action Group has been working on for many months to boost tourism and culture in the 12 municipalities linked by the Segura River. Beyond being a tourist route, 'Walking through the Vega' represents the achievement of uniting the 12 municipalities for their growth," said Patricia Fern\u00e1ndez, president of the Local Action Group and mayor of Archena.<\/p>\n
This route will represent a new opportunity for the city of Cieza, since, according to municipal sources, "it will attract tourists who come to the area to enjoy the waterwheels and other attractions, in addition to being an attraction for creating complete tourist packages to visit places in Cieza such as Medina Siy\u00e2sa, La Serreta, or Cueva del Arco, which will facilitate synergies and tourist traffic. It is evident that Cieza will continue to improve with these new offerings and infrastructure, which will also have a positive impact on the hospitality industry and commerce in general."<\/p>\n
