As we announced in our newsletter, on 10 and 11 April the “La Tordera Delta Inundable” Congress was held in Malgrat de Mar, an event aimed at addressing issues such as the flood risk of the Tordera and analysing the opportunities for renaturalising the Delta.

Renovation of signage in Malgrat de Mar
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.
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.
New scheduled rides by the Vadebici Group along the Tourdera route
The Grup Vadebici, an entity that promotes Slow-Biking, i.e., the practice of cycling without rush and enjoying the landscape, has planned several outings along the Tordera route for the beginning of 2022, as part of the outings it organizes periodically along bike lanes, greenways, rural roads, etc.
Riverbank restoration project at the old Malgrat shooting range
After the closure of the shooting range located on the Tordera riverbed in Malgrat was ordered in 2010, due to the serious impact it had on the preservation of the area’s natural and ecological values, the Malgrat de Mar city council began the recovery and restoration of the entire space a few weeks ago, next to which the Tourdera route passes.
Blanes – Malgrat de Mar section
We present a new active section of the Tourdera, this time between the municipalities of Blanes and Malgrat de Mar. In the previous news, we presented the first of the sections of the route that start from Blanes, specifically between Blanes and Palafolls, a section in which important work had to be carried out on the surface. Part of this same section coincides with the one that leads to Malgrat de Mar and here we present it to you!
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.
Malgrat de Mar also joins the project.
After we announced last week that Palafolls had joined the project, we can now announce that Malgrat de Mar has also joined the route and, therefore, the Tordera route will start from both the Girona side (Blanes) and the Barcelona side (Malgrat de Mar). Thus, there are currently 17 municipalities adhering to the project.
