Vuelta a la Escollera

The Vuelta a la Escollera Alicante is an open-water swim in Alicante, offering a 4 km main event and a shorter 300 m option. This race is part of the Liga de Travesías - Copa Alicante. It begins in the morning from Muelle 12 in the Zona Volvo, the port area associated with Alicante’s sailing events. The course concludes near Biblioteca Azorín at beach access points 5 and 6, directing swimmers from the harbor toward the city’s beachfront. The 4 km swim is noted as non-competitive in one listing, though the event includes categories for junior, senior, and masters swimmers across multiple age groups starting from over-30. It is organized by Alicante’s sports department in conjunction with Club Natación Aquatic Alicante, giving it a local club character rather than a large commercial event.
