The Camí del Xap, a fundamental route for the internal connection of the Marina Alta region, has been reopened to traffic after being closed for four years due to a significant rock and earth landslide.

This infrastructure, located in La Vall de Gallinera, is crucial for the internal connectivity of the region. Its reopening was made possible by a large-scale construction project that overcame the damage caused by the collapse.
The works carried out by the Diputación de Alicante have been described as colossal, given the magnitude of the challenge. Various techniques and materials were used for the road's restoration, including concrete, riprap stones, dynamic barriers, and stabilization meshes, thus ensuring the safety and durability of the route.
The complexity of the project reflects the importance of this road for the mobility and development of the area, which now regains a vital connection for its residents and visitors.
