Altre informazioni:
Francisco Mira y Botella (1862 - 1944) was a forester who led in 1896 the reforestation of the peninsular of Guardamar del Segura and restocking of Mount Benacantil in the city of Alicante initiated in 1912. Francisco Mira began reforestation of the dunes of Guardamar in the spring of 1896 and dedicated 28 years of his life to this work to stop coastline erosion and constructed an extension that would prevent flooding of the village. This work began with the construction of an artificial coastal dune barrier that served to fix the sand. After neutralizing this dune coast, he designed an inner slope, fixed by planting trees. In Guardamar town there is a house-museum with his name, and two statues in his memory are located within the reforested areas. This pine forest, currently divided into two parks called Parque Alfonso XIII and Reina Sofia Park, stretches between the city center and the beaches of Babylon and nurseries.
