Popis: The urbanization in the south coast of Alicante has meant the elimination and fragmentation for the habitat of very interesting taxa specimens, cataloged and classified as threatened, in the case of Helianthemum caput-felis Boiss. and Tudorella mauretanica Pallary. In order to know the legal status of protection and the distribution of these species, the information available in state and autonomous public agencies has been consulted. In addition, the data taken by the authors with high precision GPS since 2006 has been added. This information has allowed to elaborate a spatial analysis with GIS tools and to assess the current status of the two species in the south of the province of Alicante. In this paper, it becomes clear how the exhaustive and detailed information of these two threatened species has allowed or forced to redesign successive planning instruments; being the Green Infrastructure the concept used for the definitive configuration of protected spaces through the application of the basic criterion of ecological connectivity.
