El Hondo Natural Park
El Hondo Natural Park is located in the Baix Vinalopó region, near the municipalities of Elche/Elx and Crevillente, in the province of Alicante.
The area is made up of two reservoirs originally intended for irrigation but which have since been fully naturalised. These are the Poniente and Levante dams, with a 11 and 5 million cubic metre capacity, respectively, and which take their water from the Segura River.
