This November, we have started the second annual review of the Tourdera in order to verify the state of the route and detect any incidents on the itinerary and signage. From the La Selva County Council, as project coordinators, we carry out two complete reviews of the entire route annually and send all detected incidents to the maintenance managers of each municipality.

La Tourdera is already an ORG member of wikiloc
As you know, for years, the Tourdera has had all the tracks of the route sections uploaded to the Wikiloc portal, a digital platform with more than 2 million users that was born in Catalonia. It is a tool that allows you to store and share outdoor, georeferenced routes, as well as associated points of interest, shown on various base maps such as Google Maps, Open Street Map, topographic maps, orthophoto maps, etc.
Area under construction on the route at the beginning of the path from Fogars to Tordera
Although a few months ago we informed you that the works in the Can Buscà industrial estate area of Tordera were already finished, currently improvement works are being carried out on the access at this point. These works, which do not directly affect the passage of the route, involve a diversion from the original route layout, although you must circulate taking precautions.
Signage improvements in the municipality of Montseny
On October 18th, the Montseny City Council carried out an improvement action on the directional signage for the route’s tracking banners throughout the municipality. Specifically, these were directional banners in the rural environment (natural park signage), which were having problems with the vinyl stickers.
The Tourdera at Punt Avui
On October 18th, the newspaper Punt Avui published, in both its paper and digital editions, a report on the “Ruta de la Tordera i riera d’Arbúcies (Tourdera)”, highlighting key aspects of the route such as the fact that it connects the Montseny and the Mediterranean, the good train connections to access the route, its focus on the economic development of the municipalities through which it passes, etc.
The route in Riells and Viabrea has been restored
For a few months now, the Tourdera route through the municipality of Riells i Viabrea was diverted at a small point between Avinguda Ferrocarril and Carrer de Santa Fe (Alba de Liste), as a consequence of road improvement works within the municipality.
Presentation of the Tourdera at the Can Figueres de Gualba farmhouse
On 13 October, a presentation of the “Tordera and Arbúcies Stream Route” project was held at Masia Can Figueres in Gualba and was open to the general public. During the presentation, the route was introduced, while the project as a whole and its ultimate goal as a territorial development initiative were also explained.
Welcome Autumn!
On September 22nd, we officially entered the astronomical autumn, which will last until December 21st with the winter solstice. Throughout this period, we will observe significant changes in the landscape and the weather, and if you take the opportunity to do any section of the Tourdera, you will surely capture a postcard-worthy image!
Completion of works at the Pas de la Tourdera in Can Buscà (Tordera)
For some months now, the section of the Tordera route through the Can Buscà area, in the municipality of Tordera, has been diverted from the original itinerary due to urban development works in the area. With the restoration of the original route, the signage has been reinforced with the installation of some directional vinyls identifying the Tourdera.
Some tips for sustainable tourism in Montseny
As you know, one of the great attractions of the Tourdera is the Montseny Biosphere Reserve, the massif where the Tordera river and the Arbúcies stream are born, which give our route its name. This space, of great relevance and importance for the biodiversity it hosts (check here the post we prepared for you), must be preserved and we must make its enjoyment compatible with its conservation. Therefore, following the recommendations of the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism in Montseny, we provide you with some tips to enjoy it in a sustainable way.
