The new lighting of the river that opens is made up of 155 LED projectors of low power and reduced consumption, which lightly illuminate the walls of the river bed, so that this spring you can go for a walk or ride a bike at dusk, with visibility and safely by the margins of the Segura, without affecting the fauna or flora of the river banks.

In addition, 141 programmable color projectors have been installed in the simulated columns of the wall, which allow the games of colors like the one that has been released this Holy Week.
