La Tourdera connects the Montseny massif with the Mediterranean beaches and can be explored on foot or by bicycle. In Fogars de la Selva, the river landscape, signposted trails and diverse cultural heritage are also a focus. This lets you plan your stay around both outdoor activities and visits to historic places.

Walking and cycling trails along the Tordera

La Tourdera follows the course of the Tordera and the Riera d'Arbúcies. The trail network in Fogars de Tordera also offers several options for active days: well-signposted walking, cycling and mountain biking routes from the “Grans Camins de l'Aigua”, “Senders Locals” and “Centre BTT la Selva” networks. Your preferred way of getting around offers a practical starting point for choosing a route: La Tourdera can be explored on foot or by bicycle, while the wider network also includes mountain biking routes.

Along the Tordera, the route features particularly valuable vegetation diversity and is of great ecological and hunting interest. For nature lovers, this combines the river setting with a landscape whose variety of vegetation is explicitly one of its defining features. The route and the wider network of marked trails offer different ways to enjoy walking and cycling, without reducing them to the same trail.

Discover the museum and churches

The Museu de la Pagesia is a reconstruction of a Catalan farmhouse. The museum also houses an information point for the park. It provides information about the park and signposted routes, as well as guided and self-guided museum visits and educational activities for schoolchildren. The farmhouse reconstruction and information point bring together history, park information and visits under one roof.

The Església de Sant Andreu de Ramió is a Romanesque church that has been altered and is dedicated to Saint Andrew. The earliest written records of it date from 1246. In the bull of Pope Innocent IV, it is listed under the name Sancti Andree de Rimay. The site thus brings together its architectural classification and an early recorded name.

The Església de Sant Cebrià offers a different perspective: it is dedicated to Saint Cyprian and Saint Cornelius and lies near the Tordera on its right bank, just downstream from its confluence with the Riera de Santa Coloma de Farners. Inside is a single-nave Gothic church with a vaulted ceiling. Its location and interior offer two distinct details to look out for: its relationship with the river and the design of the interior.

Festa Major in September

The Festa Major of Fogars de Tordera is held in honour of Saint Cyprian and Saint Cornelius, the parish's patron saints. The date, set for 16 September, is adjusted to the third weekend of September. The celebrations include sports, social and cultural activities, including children's performances, a communal dinner and a Havaneres concert. If you would like to plan your stay around the Festa Major, check the exact event dates in advance.

Getting there and choosing accommodation

A local bus service connects Fogars de Tordera with Tordera. Renfe train services are accessible via Hostalric or Tordera; Renfe trains depart from both. If you plan to travel by train, check the latest timetables before setting off.

When looking for a holiday rental in Fogars de la Selva, you can first consider what you want your stay to focus on: La Tourdera and the signposted trails, the Museu de la Pagesia and the churches, or the Festa Major in September. This lets you choose your destination based on the specific nature and cultural attractions you would like to include in your trip.
