The river Serpis White or Alcoy, witnessed the birth and development of Gandia, for centuries has shaped and influenced the urban configuration in the trade, industry and architecture of the city; but also proved, throughout subside sports history, were often ruthless and destructive causing material damage. The latest actions aimed at strengthening its cache and enable subside sports a path for pedestrians, allowed to recover valuable natural area, a green belt to run or walk accompanied only by the sound of the river, a walk to discover an unpublished Gandia, a city where until 2011 the heritage and history with even fused century.
We propose to look different subside sports and unprecedented in the history of Gandia following a simple circular route, a pleasant walk of about 6 km which, subside sports in just over an hour and a half, covering both sides of the river snake urban section a highly seasonal river but nevertheless very sensitive to cold episodes of gout. For this reason, a project was born remodeling its banks for a total of 36 million euros which rose walls and levees to prevent flooding in the affected areas, the Hoyas and their new EPI 1,700 households, and marshes of Venice Rafalcaïd. Of that 13 million is earmarked dance stretch that runs along Gandia; works, completed in March 2011, where in addition to cleaning the cache is built concrete walls, subside sports dykes protecting a low-water channel and taking advantage of fluvial terraces, pedestrian promenade and park that we know.

Today Serpis the reasons for its peaceful and calm down artificially, at least apparently. None of us has any known flood Serpens, but history tells us that the Carmelite Street was known as the Wall braid for some reason; also tells us that in 1891 the Jesuits had Ducal Palace building a breakwater 300 meters to contain the same heavy floods. Cavanilles also tells us, in his remarks, that in 1779 a flood caused the water to circulate six feet above the Old Bridge Olive, flooding low-lying areas of Gandia. But more than a century that the river overflows it, despite having suffered floods's very like the 1987 record of the peninsula with the permission of Olive. The presence of the reservoir Beniarrés storing excess water has prevented a more serious misfortune; think that while the flow through the snake Orxa is 0.8 m3 / s, for example in November 1922 were recorded 800 m3 / s. We do not know whether the investment will be strong enough for something, at least for the time being strong waterspout and "Downburst" Autumn subside sports of 2012 or did not cosquerelles; hope in the future you have not check it. Access
Although subside sports the pedestrian promenade has many Serpens access route will start from the bridge Rafalcaïd subside sports polygon (the access to the Central Plaza Mayor and the Life), accessed by vehicles leaving the park John Carpenter. Pass along the farmhouse Laborde (former head of Gandia TV) cross the road and arriving at new level of comprehensive care center San Francisco de Borja, behind which arises a path that descends to the river soil.

Before we pass along the lower strain harvested until recently was the most unique copy of the entire catalog of heritage trees Gandia, a venerable and unusual hackberry (Celtis australis) about 150 years and 19 meters height remain lying by a strong wind in late summer and discussed more than a chainsaw action.

The path quickly along a dirt floor near an interesting viewpoint elm (Ulmus minor) and goes to the right towards the first of the seven bridges on our route, the polygon Rafalcaïd commonly the "Mainland subside sports Bridge," a concrete structure with two eyes, functional but unattractive, subside sports built in 1994 to provide access to parks and shopping centers. Walking on a terrace of earth will see the river passed, along a meandering series of flashy, channeled between stone jetties. This artificial subside sports channel called low-water channel has a meter deep and 13 meters wide and is divided by small rock dams that form a kind of cross-interconnected pools of 40 meters; subside sports the channel used to ensure the existence of a constant water depth and minimum ecological flow, theoretically boosted during the summer for a pumping subside sports system that should be turned off to save, since it circulated in August
