It has been a few years since the first seed of the Tordera Route and Arb\u00facies Stream project was planted. Despite this, it has been in recent months that the project has begun to be known more profusely, so it is a good time to review what has been done, explain what the project will be like, what objectives it has and what moment we are in.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As you have most likely already seen in more than one place, the project was christened with the name Tourdera in a clear allusion to the name of the Tordera river and also to the French word \u201ctour\u201d, which is commonly used when we want to take a route or \u201cdo a tour\u201d. And the Tordera route and Arb\u00facies stream wants to create an itinerary, to be able to do it on foot and by bicycle, following, as far as possible, the route of these two fluvial courses: the Tordera and the Arb\u00facies stream.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>To be able to make this possible it has been necessary to gather and agree on nothing less than 18 town councils<\/a>, in a process that began in 2010 and in which this same 2016 new municipalities have joined. During these years, in addition to agreeing on all these town halls, the \u201cnaming\u201d was created, the brand registered, the criteria and route defined, a valued report of the project was written, etc.<\/p>\n

The goal of the Tordera route is, as we have said, to make a route following the Tordera and the Arb\u00facies stream a reality, through the practice of cycling and hiking, all while allowing the population to discover the territory, promoting the knowledge of the nature and heritage associated with the river, and encouraging the local development of the municipalities with the arrival of new visitors. With these same pretexts, there are already numerous itineraries of these characteristics in other territories, such as large-scale routes like the \u201cDanube Route\u201d<\/a>, the \u201cCanal du Midi Route\u201d<\/a>, or in a more modest and close way, the \u201cMuga Natural Path\u201d<\/a> route, in Empord\u00e0.<\/p>\n
