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.

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.
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.
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
Annual reviews Tourdera
Maintaining routes is a very important aspect when it comes to offering a quality product to end users. On the Tourdera route, we carry out two complete revisions of the entire route annually and, regarding all detected incidents, we send everything detected to those responsible for maintenance in each municipality. During the month of November, the 2nd annual revision of the entire route was carried out on the Tourdera.
The crossing over the Santa Coloma stream in Massanes has been reopened.
One of the pending works that remained to be resolved after the Gloria storm was the repair of the ford over the Santa Coloma stream at the height of the Maçanet – Massanes train station. This meant that the section of the route between the station and the town of Massanes was closed to pedestrians, as it was necessary to cross the stream directly over the riverbed. Since October 15, it has been possible to cross this point without problems, and therefore, the section is restored.
Provisional signage in Santa Maria de Palautordera
As you know, after the Gloria storm in 2020, the footbridge that crossed the Tordera in Santa Maria de Palautordera disappeared, interrupting the path of the Tourdera. As a result of this unforeseen event, an alternative itinerary was provided, which you can follow perfectly, and which is perfectly signposted by the City Council of Santa Maria de Palautordera on a provisional basis.
Modification of the route between Mosqueroles and Sant Esteve de Palautordera
This week, the signage for the modified route section between Mosqueroles and Sant Esteve de Palautordera has been completed. Specifically, the section between the Tordera River and Santa Magdalena had to be modified due to conflicts between route users and local property owners. Currently, if you want to visit the Castle while doing the Tourdera, you must detour about 600m from the itinerary and return to resume it.
Repair of the ford over the Santa Coloma stream in Massanes
For several months, the ford crossing the Santa Coloma stream in Massanes had been gone due to Storm Gloria, meaning the section between the center of Massanes and the train station was completely cut off. Although a provisional action was carried out a few months ago to allow passage, a new flood washed the path away again. Since last week, circulation over the stream has been provisionally restored, pending the execution of the final project, which is scheduled for after the summer.
Consolidation works on the slopes of the Tordera in Tordera
The consolidation work on the slopes of the Tordera River in the town of Tordera, which were severely affected by Storm Gloria, continues to advance. Currently, the most complex work, which was the consolidation of the slope with stone riprap, is already finished, and in the coming weeks, the second phase of the project will begin to return the space to its initial state.
