Just as we informed you a few days ago, the Tordera Route and Arbúcies stream (Tourdera) is an itinerary that follows the course of the Tordera River and the Arbúcies stream in practically its entirety, but there are also some links to the route from towns near the river, as is the case of Gualba, Massanes, Breda or Vallgorguina. Today we present the case of Vallgorguina.

New roundabout and underpass on the C35 between Riells and La Batllòria
After several months of work, the underpass for the C-35 road, between Riells i Viabrea and La Batllòria (Sant Celoni), is now in operation. In fact, since the end of April, the passage has been reopened while the remaining work is being finished. Thus, this section of the Tourdera, which was affected for several months and required crossing the road via a pedestrian crossing with traffic lights, is now once again crossed normally and safely under the road.
1st annual route review
As you know, on the Tourdera route we annually carry out two complete revisions of the entire route and, regarding all the incidents detected, we send everything detected to those responsible for maintenance in each municipality. During this month of July, the 1st annual review of the entire route is being carried out.
La Tourdera connecting sections (part 1): the case of Gualba
As you know, the Tordera Route and Arbúcies stream (Tourdera) is an itinerary that follows the course of the Tordera River and the Arbúcies stream in practically its entirety, but there are also some links to the route from towns near the river, such as Gualba, Massanes, Breda or Vallgorguina. In this article, we present the case of Gualba.
Inauguration of the new footbridge over the Tordera in Santa Maria de Palautordera
Last Saturday, June 11, at 12 noon, the long-awaited inauguration of the footbridge over the Tordera River took place in the Serra neighborhood of Santa Maria de Palautordera. This footbridge disappeared during the serious floods of Storm Gloria, which very seriously affected the entire Tordera basin.
The viewpoints at the mouth of the Tordera
As is well known, Storm Gloria strongly affected the entire Tordera river basin. But not only in a negative way (even today, works are being carried out to repair the damage), it also provided a great benefit to the river, such as the creation of the large coastal lagoon between Blanes and Malgrat de Mar, which was able to gain meters from the sea after many years. Thanks to this fact, the management of the space has changed, with access restrictions, a ban on swimming, and the creation of viewpoints to observe birds without interfering with their natural dynamics, among others.
Remodeling works of the Tordera River Promenade
After many months, and a long period of bureaucratic procedures, the works on the Tordera river promenade, through which the Tourdera route passes at the height of the town of Tordera, have been underway for a few weeks. This major work, also caused by the serious damage inflicted by Storm Gloria, has an execution period that will last throughout much of the summer, but it will leave the passage of the route at this point in optimal conditions.
Activities of the Vadebici group for the Tourdera
As we informed you a few months ago, the Grup Vadebici is an entity that promotes Slow-Biking, that is, the practice of cycling without rushing and enjoying the landscape. Among its activities, at the beginning of this 2022, the entity organized 3 outings along the Tordera route that brought together people from different parts of the Catalan geography, from Barcelona to Tarragona, passing through towns in the Maresme and the Vallès.
The Llobateres wetland area
The Les Llobateres wetland area is an enclave located in the municipality of Sant Celoni, also very close to the municipalities of Riells i Viabrea, Sant Feliu de Buixalleu, Hostalric, and Fogars de la Selva. The route of the Tourdera passes precisely through this space which, as you will see, comes from an old human activity that was converted into a space for the flora and fauna of humid environments.
Reconstruction of the footbridge over the Tordera River in Santa Maria de Palautordera
As you know, Storm Gloria had very negative consequences for all the municipalities through which the Tordera and Arbúcies stream route (Tourdera) runs. Even, due to the high cost of many of the reconstruction works, and with the pandemic in between, some of the actions have not yet been carried out. This is not the … Read more
