The City Council invites schools to enjoy the nature of Murcia by offering a visit to the Contraparada (15/11/2016)

The City Council of Murcia, through the Department of Urbanism, Environment and Huerta, directed by Antonio Navarro Corchón, today accompanied the students of 2nd and 3rd grade school Our Lady of the Angels to carry out an environmental itinerary by La Contraparada.

Through diverse games the students have been able to know this place discovering the natural and cultural values ​​of the area.

The environmental itinerary of La Contraparada is included in the extensive offer of activities of the environmental education program 'Murcia, ecology of a city' of this Council, fulfilling its 21st edition.

Last year, the environmental itinerary of La Contraparada was incorporated into the program.

This year 12 school centers along with various associations have requested it, consolidating this activity in the offer.

Approximately 1,200 students will know the values ​​of this place.

This visit offers a circular itinerary through the Huerta de Murcia, where important contents such as water as a water resource, the Segura River as an ecosystem, its branches and its influence on the orchard landscape have been worked on, as well as the Flora and fauna.

For a day students have become 'researchers' doing different activities such as a gymkana of fauna, bird watching with telescope and an environmental itinerary with several stops (the Aljufía ditch, the riverbank forest, the Alquibla irrigation ditch The Contraparada).

The Contraparada is one of the most emblematic places of our municipality, where landscape, history and culture converge.

The orchard and the river Segura are the main referents that characterize this natural landscape.

Of Roman origin and perfected by the Arabs, La Contraparada, is the starting point of a wise use of the waters.

Since the implementation of the facilities in the area and with the incorporation to this program of the past course of the environmental itinerary of La Contraparada, thousands of people have enjoyed these and other corners that our municipality holds and that they hope to be discovered through Respect and care of its visitors.
