| Taking advantage of the dirt track next to the Guadalentín riverbed | It is the best way we can have to take advantage of this road above the Guadalentín river, recovering a road that is currently degraded, dirty and full of dust, and that, despite all these inconveniences, is registering an increasing influx of people.

who frequent it daily.It would have trees, gardens, geronto-gymnastics equipment, children's games, family recreation areas and a space for holding socio-cultural events, which would have the castle of our city as a backdrop.The spokesperson for the Popular Party in the city of Lorca, Fulgencio Gil, has proposed the creation of a New Alameda two kilometers long that would take advantage of the dirt track on the left bank of the Guadalentín riverbed, starting from the vicinity of La Peñica, upriver, until reaching the Escarambrujo Mill.

It is an itinerary that runs parallel to the road that connects with the Puentes reservoir (C-15), between this road and the Guadalentín river itself, but outside its natural bed.Fulgencio Gil has underlined that it is an exciting project, which, in practical terms, also responds to the real use that Lorca families are already giving to this area, as a place for recreation, recreation and family leisure in nature.

This space is also being dedicated to sports, bike rides, hiking and running.It is the best way we can have to take advantage of this road above the Guadalentín river, recovering a road that is currently degraded, dirty and full of dust, and that, despite all these inconveniences, is registering an increasing influx of people.

who frequent it daily.

Its strategic location allows citizens to use it regularly, since it is close to the urban area and also to places of natural interest such as the riverbed itself and the Peñarrubia and El Cambrón mountains.Fulgencio Gil has pointed out that "what we want is to change the route of rubble and garbage, for a Nueva Alameda, with trees, leisure areas, and lighting adapted to the environment.

We are talking about a place for families to walk, with facilities so that Lorca families can enjoy this enclave, in the style of those that already exist in the park of the rambla de los 17 arcos and on the way up to the hermitage of La Salud, in the hamlet of La Hoya ".

The profile of the action follows the model of the recreation area that has been set up, for example, between the round of the San Fernando neighborhood and the Las Alamedas sports hall, parallel to the layout of section four of the central ring road.We are talking about a project that does not require an exorbitant economic investment, and whose social and urban profitability would be extraordinary.

In addition, a new green lung of two kilometers in length would be generated, with trees and shrubs of Mediterranean species, gardens and geronto-gymnastics equipment, children's games and we even propose that a space be set up for holding cultural events (concerts, poetic encounters , live theater ...) that would take advantage of the charm of having as a backdrop the unique image of our castle of Lorca.This project starts from an obvious reality; We Lorca deserve to recover the vicinity of our river as a place of recreation, always taking into account the special circumstances that we all know exist in case of heavy rainfall.

In Lorca, as is already being done in many Mediterranean cities, we have to work so that our gaze towards the riverbed of the Guadalentín is not restricted only to fear of flood episodes.

We are very close to the example of projects such as "Murcia Río", which shows us that its use as a recreation area can be made compatible with due precautions.Fulgencio Gil has stated that it is an action that would implement the improvement of access to our city through the San Cristóbal neighborhood, from the Caravaca highway, initiating the urban change of an important area that has already practically become part of the case.

urban, although it is part of the district of Rio.It is the opportune moment to do so, since the city council now enjoys more money than ever, with a 6.5 million euros surplus and 12 in treasury, figures to which are added all the savings that the city council is pocketing for the massive suppression of parties, events, Easter, cultural programs ...The intervention that we propose includes from the vicinity of La Peñica to the Molino del Escarambrujo, providing for its subsequent link with the route to Cejo de los Enamorados.

It would complement the investment that the Popular Party has put on the table from the regional government for the consolidation of the Escaranbrujo Mill and its gardens.

We also insist that the city council undertake actions to clean up the Salto, a hydraulic infrastructure of marked relevance for the residents of Rio.It should be noted that this project is part of the Green Belt Network that the Popular Party has projected throughout the city, forming its first phase, which is called to be completed with the use as a green and family leisure area of ??the railway line that is it is going to bury, as well as the stretch of promenade between the neighborhood of San Fernando and the district of Campillo.
