Study of the Traces of the Former Carrilets on the Girona Greenways

Researcher: Carles Gorini Santo

To mark the 20th anniversary of the creation of the Consorci de les Vies Verdes de Girona (2003–2023), we have commissioned a study to explore the history of the former carrilets (narrow-gauge railways) that crossed the Girona region, connecting the Costa Brava with the Pyrenees and transporting passengers and goods. In particular, we aimed to understand the transformation of these railway routes, once abandoned, into the current Girona Greenways.

"The Traces of the Girona Carrilets: From the Closure of the Railways to the Girona Greenways Consortium (1969–2003)" is a study conducted by the Catalan Institute for Cultural Heritage Research (ICRPC – CERCA) and funded by the European Union’s Next Generation funds under the Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan. C14.I01.

Funding entity: Girona Greenways Consortium (2022). Execution period: 01/04/2022 – 30/04/2023. Funding: €10,000
