Within the Transport Museum Booklet Collection, a new series dedicated to the heritage of public works in our regions begins. As the title indicates Public Works in the Valencian Regions. Locations and Landscapes: Baix Vinalopó, the volume is devoted entirely to this Alicante region.
Through a transversal vision of infrastructures, the first pages introduce the different networks existing in the territory: communications (land, sea and air), hydraulic and defensive ones. Subsequently, the most characteristic and important elements of public works are detailed chronologically, from the Middle Ages to the present day, including the bridges and the Elche reservoir dam, the Pontet dels Moros aqueduct in Crevillent or the lighthouse and the port of Santa Pola.
