Riu Congost Greenway

Highlight • Cycleway

La Garriga has two cycle paths and numerous paths to explore by bicycle.

The exit from Plaza del Silencio passes through the Paseo where you can see summer heritage.
Next, you advance through the Narcisa Freixas square until you reach Can Terreros where you can see the archaeological remains of Can Terreros. Continue over the bridge on Bages Street and Ramon Ciurans Street. Finally. It connects with the river path in Llerona, Rosanes and La Almendra, in a route of 3.9km. This route can be done up to 35km to reach Besós beach in a gradient of just under 100 meters.

It descends comfortably parallel to the river, scanning the river, which is on the right, and crop fields on the left. As you go down, you reach a landscape that becomes more urban and industrial. The path has no discontinuity.

Riu Besòs River Crossing

Highlight • Bridge

Quite a considerable drop due to the crossing of the Passeig Fluvial Riu Besòs with a huge ditch or channel about 7 meters wide by about 2 meters deep.

It can be easily crossed by bicycle, but it is necessary to slow down a bit because both the entrance and the exit of this channel are covered with stones.

Besòs River Promenade

Highlight • Cycleway

Very nice trail for MTB or gravel riding, parallel to the Besós river. You can start cycling along it from the mouth of the river in Sant Adrià de Besòs, where it starts with paved bike lanes up to Montcada and Reixac. From here it continues as a narrow and irregular path across the banks of the Besós river to Mollet del Vallès. And from Mollet it is mostly in the form of a path or wide track up to La Roca del Vallés as you can see in the image.

Bridge Over the Mogent River

Highlight • Bridge

Watercourse of the Catalan Mediterranean System that joins the Gorge at the term of Montornès and forms the Besòs. It is born in the Marina mountain range, on the Valais side of the Corredor mountain range, at about 600 meters above sea level. On reaching the terminus of Llinars del Vallès, it changes direction and passes through Llinars, la Roca, Vilanova and Montornès. On the right bank, the most important tributaries are the streams of Vilamajor and Cànoves or Vallforners. On the left, since it closely follows the fault of the mountain range, it has no important tributaries. However, the small streams that are there bring a lot of water in times of heavy rains. The Mogent water is used to irrigate the whole basin, and is particularly important in the areas included in the municipalities of Vilanova and Montornès, before reaching the urban centres.
The otter has reproduced in the Mogent River, a tributary of the Besòs River, for the first time in more than four decades.
Throughout history, it has experienced significant floods caused, especially, by lasting autumn rises. One of the most notable took place at the end of September 1971.

Tree-Lined Path on the Passeig Fluvial del Río Mogent

Highlight • Trail

I have spent dozens of times running or on an MTB bike on this section of trail that belongs to the Passeig Fluvial del Río Mogent, and I always find it very gratifying due to the dense vegetation, which in some sections and thanks to how close the cups are From the trees, they envelop you completely, transporting you momentarily to a more exuberant jungle-like environment.
