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.

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.
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

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.
