Find Hotels in Fogars de la Selva

Fogars de la Selva offers several perspectives to consider when planning your trip: La Tourdera represents a journey between the Montseny Massif and the Mediterranean beaches; churches and a reconstructed farmhouse add cultural highlights; and the Festa Major gives you a specific date to consider in September. If you are looking for a hotel, first decide whether your days will be shaped mainly by hiking or cycling, architectural history, or the festival. This will help you focus on the things that matter most for your stay.

Hiking, Cycling and Landscape

La Tourdera can be explored on foot or by bicycle and connects the Montseny Massif with the Mediterranean beaches. It follows the course of the Tordera and the Riera d’Arbúcies. The route description therefore provides two specific planning points: the available ways to get around and the waterways whose course the route follows.

The Fogars de Tordera trail network includes a range of well-signposted hiking, cycling and mountain biking routes. They belong to the “Grans Camins de l’Aigua”, “Senders Locals” and “Centre BTT la Selva” networks. To choose a route, you can first consider your preferred way of getting around, then look at the specific route. Another option is the route along the Tordera, which is of great ecological and hunting interest because of its particularly rich vegetation.

Museum and Churches

The Museu de la Pagesia is a reconstruction of a Catalan farmhouse. The museum houses an information point for the park, where you can find information about the park, signposted routes, guided and self-guided museum visits, and educational activities for schoolchildren. Alongside the routes, the focus is therefore also on rural architecture and engaging younger visitors.

The Església de Sant Andreu de Ramió is a Romanesque church that has undergone alterations and is dedicated to Saint Andrew. Its earliest written records date from 1246. They mention the name Sancti Andree de Rimay in the bull of Pope Innocent IV. The Església de Sant Cebrià, by contrast, is dedicated to Saint Cyprian and Saint Cornelius. It lies near the Tordera, on its right bank, just downstream of its confluence with the Riera de Santa Coloma de Farners. Inside, it has a single-nave Gothic interior with a vaulted ceiling. The two churches thus stand out for their different dedications and architectural styles.

Festa Major and Trip Planning

Fogars de la Selva’s Festa Major is celebrated in honour of Saints Cyprian and Cornelius, the parish’s patron saints. The date, set for 16 September, is adjusted to the third weekend of September. The festival includes sports, social and cultural activities, including children’s performances, a shared dinner and a Havaneres concert. If you want to plan your trip around the festival, check the specific event dates for your intended stay.
