The best MTB trails around Tordera

Dates from the 18th century.... Built in honor of the only person who did not get sick during the smallpox outbreak that made everyone else sick. Erola, the name of the girl who did not get sick, and dedicated herself to healing all the sick. Believing that what this girl did was a miracle, they built this Hermitage for her.... Mara de Déu de la Erola. To this day, perfectly cared for and clean. The name Erola.... means..... Small esplanade at the top of the Mountain ⛰️😃

This church was left in the background when the population center moved towards the plain and the coast. It's not that it lost its religious importance, it's that the people left and it stayed. That's why today it has this strange air of a large place for so few people around, like an out-of-place piece that explains the change in the territory better than any sign.

Right on the border between the river and human settlement: it wasn't placed randomly, but on a high, safe point when the Tordera River frequently overflowed. From here, fields and roads could be watched, and that's why the surroundings feel open and strategic. A good place to slow down: the terrain is more inviting for observing the valley than for pedaling hard.

A Mediterranean river, riparian forests, gravel, orchards, and wetlands that change with the seasons. This stretch showcases how nature and human activity have coexisted for centuries. A good place to stop for a moment and take in the landscape before continuing your leisurely ride, because here the river always takes precedence over the road.

The river here isn't channeled: it expands, dries up, or overflows depending on the season, creating a changing landscape of riparian forest and gravel. It's a great place to understand how a real Mediterranean river works and to ride at a leisurely pace, letting the terrain and surroundings set the rhythm.

A key ecological corridor between Montseny and the sea. Here, the riverbed changes, overflows, and regenerates, creating an ever-changing landscape. Although the sign is damaged, the surroundings take center stage: riverside forest, silence, and paths perfect for leisurely rides, allowing you to understand the territory before continuing.

This section of the Tordera River Walk was designed following the river's "living" course, not to control it, but to adapt to its floods. That's why the landscape is constantly changing and never the same two days in a row. The picnic area is at a transition point between riverside woodland and open terrain, ideal for stopping and observing the river before continuing to cycle: here it's best to slow down, because the Tordera sets the pace.

Beyond the usual features, what's interesting is that it wasn't just a parish church, but a key crossroads between isolated farmhouses and forest trails. For centuries it also served as a meeting place for the foresters, who used the porch to exchange warnings about snowfalls, fires, or lost livestock. Inside, remnants of badly worn mural paintings were found, indicating that it was once more important than it appears today. The surrounding area retains that secluded and remote atmosphere that has always characterized Sant Llop.
