The Terranegra path is an itinerary that enables you to discover the Cadiretes Massif and its forest drainage basin. For 15 miles, you can move from the Selva plain to the coast, depending on which direction you take
From the Tourist Office, head to calle de Sant Maurici to get onto the path, which we will follow in a southerly direction. In this direction, we will go towards the Malavella Parc urban development and just leaving the town of Caldes de Malavella, we will find the first sign and always follow the white and blue markings. This section follows the Terranegra path itinerary, signed with wooden posts and vertical signs up to the end of the section. When we start the section, we will follow the indications to Sant Maurici and Tossa de Mar until we pass the Malavella Parc urban development and arrive at the St. Maurice Sanctuary and the remains of Malavella Castle.
From this point, we will follow the indications towards Santa Seclina and Tossa de Mar. We will cross the Vidreres highway and, once we have passed Can Poc, we will cross the Can Carbonell urban development until we arrive at the Santa Seclina Parish Church, documented in the 13th century, although the current building is 18th century. The path continues southbound along a narrow forest path that coincides with the old Pelegrí de Tossa path. We will follow the indications of the Terra Negra hill and Tossa de Mar.
It is important to underline the varied landscape on this section of the route, the combination of pastures with holm oak forests in the vicinity of Caldes de Malavella and the great presence of forest areas as we get further into the Cadiretes Massif.
Once at the Terra Negra hill, we will follow the indications for Tossa de Mar. On this section, it is important to underline the great natural value of the landscape, since we are right in the middle of the Cadiretes Massif, an area of natural interest with typically Mediterranean vegetation. On the final section of the route, the path has more shaded areas and becomes riparian, since it goes through rambla de Tossa de Mar, crossing it several times and combining sections of path with dirt track. We will pass through different infrastructures linked to the use that was made of the water from the boulevard, such as the Sant Benet reservoir or the waterwheel of Can Garriga. We will end the itinerary at the famous Sa Riera Park, where we will enjoy a small humid area and relaxation and leisure areas with the presence of rambla de Tossa and the Pi de Can Martí monumental tree.
