Las Fuentes del Algar
Les Fonts d’Algar, situadas a tan sólo 15 km de Benidorm y a 3 km del centro urbano de Callosa d’en Sarrià, en dirección a Bolulla, constituyen un paraje natural con un elevado grado de conservación de la riqueza ecológica y dotado, a la vez, de servicios turísticos y de educación medioambiental. Este espacio fue declarado Zona Húmeda protegida por Acuerdo del Gobierno Valenciano del 10 de septiembre de 2002. La visita consiste en el recorrido por un circuito de 1,5 km de longitud a lo largo del cauce del río Algar (“cueva” en árabe) para ver el paisaje fruto del modelado kárstico de la roca caliza: las espectaculares cascadas; las numerosas fuentes manantiales que brotan de la roca; los “tolls” (remansos de agua) en donde se pueden tomar refrescantes baños de aguas puras y cristalinas, antiguamente consideradas como “fuente de salud”; la antigua presa, el imponente canal y las acequias centenarias todavía hoy en uso.
