In recent weeks, the entire signage of the Tourdera has been renewed throughout the municipality of Malgrat de Mar. The project, subsidized and executed by the Barcelona Provincial Council (Service Catalog), has also involved integrating the signage into the Maresme network of paths.
Desembocadura
La desembocadura de la Tordera
The mouth of the Tordera River is one of the gems of the Tourdera territory which, fortunately, has managed to improve its status in recent years following Storm Gloria and the restriction of access to a large part of its extent. We have prepared a short article with information about this very interesting natural area, which we must all help to preserve.
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.
Montseny – Costa Brava (MCB)
You may have already heard of the Montseny – Costa Brava (MCB), a non-competitive, charity-based resistance hike and cycle ride organized by AE Montseny, consisting of a descent, on foot or by bicycle, from the source of the Tordera (Coll de Sant Marçal) to the mouth. Furthermore, it is a charitable initiative to help create the SJD Pediatric Cancer Center in Barcelona, the largest pediatric oncology center in Europe. Are you in?
A flight over the mouth of the Tordera
Surely many of you already know the mouth of the Tordera, a natural space located between the municipalities of Blanes and Malgrat de Mar, where the Tordera river pours its waters into the sea. The interest of the area is, above all, because it forms a coastal lagoon, isolated from the sea by a sandbar, which is used by numerous bird species, especially during their migrations.
