The coastal trail linking Cala Capitán and La Caleta in Orihuela Costa has received the prestigious Blue Trail Flag 2025, awarded by the Association for Environmental Education and Consumer. This recognition, collected by local councillor Manuel Mestre, underscores the trail’s value in landscape, geology, and cultural heritage.

Spanning two point five kilometres, the trail features five viewpoints that offer breathtaking scenery over the cliffs and beaches, as well as the sixteenth-century Cabo Roig Tower, recognised as a Cultural Heritage site. The Blue Trail Flag is awarded under strict criteria that assess the restoration and environmental protection of the area, along with the integration of cultural resources.

This accolade highlights the commitment of the local government to maintaining a sustainable natural environment and promoting heritage conservation. The renewed award positions Orihuela Costa as a tourist destination prioritising sustainability, reinforcing its status in the Valencian Community.

The Blue Trail Flag serves as a symbol of the region’s efforts in preserving its scenic beauty and cultural significance, encouraging responsible tourism and environmental stewardship.
