Santa Pola Sierra nature reserve gets new visitor signs and QR trail guides

Visitors exploring Santa Pola’s Sierra nature reserve will now find it easier to navigate thanks to a major upgrade of the area’s signage. The latest improvements include dozens of new wooden signposts and QR codes linking walkers to maps and visitor information, helping enhance one of the municipality’s most popular natural attractions.

New signage installed across the Sierra

Santa Pola’s Sierra nature reserve has completed a major upgrade to its visitor signage with the installation of 27 new wooden posts carrying a total of 71 directional and information signs.

The project marks the completion of the second phase of a programme to modernise the signage and information panels across one of the municipality’s most important natural attractions.

As part of the latest improvements, the old metal signposts have been removed and replaced with wooden posts designed to blend more naturally with the surrounding landscape.

A new feature introduced throughout the route is the addition of QR codes on every post. By scanning the codes, walkers and visitors are directed to the official Tourism Santa Pola website, where they can access maps of hiking routes through the Sierra and other natural areas within the municipality, together with additional visitor information.

Improving the experience for walkers

The project has completely renewed both the directional and interpretive signage across the Sierra, making it easier for walkers to navigate the network of trails while learning more about the area’s natural environment.

The council says the improvements will enhance the visitor experience, strengthen Santa Pola’s tourism offer and help showcase the Sierra as one of the municipality’s most valuable environmental resources for both residents and visitors.

The upgraded signage also reflects the municipality’s ongoing commitment to improving access to its natural spaces while encouraging sustainable tourism. By combining traditional wooden signposts with modern digital information, the project offers a more informative and enjoyable experience for everyone exploring the Sierra throughout the year.
