Núria Lara Barnàcer The Vinalopó River 3 into the paper sector from the early 19 th century until 1942. Cross the river and go on up the path that leads through the interior of the riverbank forest, the habitat of large numbers of creatures such as the common frog, the viperine snake, or some wellconcealed trout. As you walk along by holm oaks, willows and some climbing plants, it will not take long to get to La Coveta spring [point 3]: a cavity around two metres high in a little dell to the right of the path. This has traditionally been considered as the birth of the Vinalopó, though in actual fact the water comes from Els Brulls, or even from an area further up, close to the Mas de Bodí. What is indeed true is that the water permanently comes to the surface in this spring, thus creating a real river of life. The water goes on its way through Sax, Elda, close to the Sierra de Crevillent range, crossing Elche and disappearing before reaching the sea. This covers a total of 92 km with little flow, as the river has since ancient times been used as the driving force of textile and paper factories, and also for irrigating the crops on its banks. To go back, head directly along the forest track towards the factories and from there to the surroundings of the Mas d’Ull in Canals.
