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.

Normalized passage through the Sot de la Geneta
Still due to the effects of Storm Gloria, until a few days ago it was still necessary to cycle with caution when passing through the Sot de la Geneta, on the section between Montsoriu Castle and Arbúcies for bicycles. Currently, the passage can be made with total normality after repairing the significant sinkhole that was on the track, which required getting off the bike.
Arrangement at the ford over the Santa Coloma stream in Massanes
For several months, the ford crossing the Santa Coloma stream in Massanes had disappeared due to Storm Gloria, which meant the section between the center of Massanes and the train station was completely cut off. Currently, a temporary repair has been carried out, allowing the passage of vehicles and people, but caution must be exercised because it is a transitory measure that would likely not withstand a major surge of the stream.
New Tourdera section: cycle path between Breda and Viabrea already active
After months of construction, at the end of July, the cycle path connecting the urban center of Breda and the Riells i Viabrea-Breda railway station was officially inaugurated. This section is an integral part of the Tourdera route between Riells i Viabrea and Breda. This was the last section of the Tourdera under construction, beyond the works still to be carried out as a result of Storm Gloria.
Improvements to the sections of the Tourdera in Sant Celoni

Broadly speaking, different sections of bicycle lanes will be enabled in paved urban sections and the surface will be improved in different sections of the track that, due to the rains, were in poor condition. The contract, awarded for a total value of 137,505.14 €, began on September 16th, and is expected to be completed in a month.
Accessibility improvement works at Montclús Castle
The Sant Esteve de Palautordera town council has begun improvement work this summer on the accessibility of the surroundings of the Montclús Castle, within the framework of the Tordera route. The actions, financed by the Barcelona Provincial Council, will allow Tourdera users to enjoy a variant for hikers that enables them to visit, among other places, the Montclús Castle.
Road surface improvement works in Sant Celoni
The Sant Celoni town council has already completed the first improvement works on the surface of the Tordera Route within its municipality. Specifically, the scope of work included repairing several water crossings over the surface, as well as improving a 400m section between the La Batllòria footbridge and the Les Llobateres wetland area.
