It will act in the area annexed to the Serpis river basin, in the area between this river and the northern area of the city, improving natural and pedestrian connectivity between the urban area, the riverbed and the ravines of the Barxell and Cint rivers.

It contemplates actions for the ecological recovery of degraded areas with serious erosion problems through the introduction of native species and creating a green and blue corridor that will make them accessible to citizens. The action incorporates various elements of natural, ethnological and landscape interest such as access to the surroundings of an old industrial mill, its pond and a naturalized viewpoint.

One of the large parks in Alcoy, located in the north of the city and the connection point between the city and the ravine, will be improved and renaturalised with the planting of native species and xeriscaping and ecological gardening techniques for the generation of urban forests.
