The Ter river, before carving its path towards the Empordà plain, flows through a final narrow passage. It is the Congost, straddling Girona and Celrà, a bottleneck through which passes the road connecting to La Bisbal and Palamós (C-66), the train heading to Figueres and Portbou (R11), and also a little-known and large underground channel that supplies water to what is known as the Empordà of Gironès: the Vinyals irrigation ditch. The Congost becomes a mandatory compression point for all infrastructure. But despite the lack of space, ingenuity has made it possible that on Sunday a new path will be inaugurated, allowing pedestrians and bicycles to cross the Congost safely, separated from the intense and dangerous traffic of the C-66

For those who have never set foot in the town of Vilablareix, near Girona, it is known above all for your municipal radio. The persistence of Didac Romagós, coordinator and sole worker, with a music schedule only in Catalan and daily interviews with personalities Of all the Catalan Countries, has made this station, with 44,000 followers on Twitter, the great ambassador for a town of just 4,000 inhabitants. But the local radio station's figures aren't the only record-breaking ones: Vilablareix is the town in the Girona region that has grown the most in percentage terms in the last decade, going from just over 2,000 inhabitants at the turn of the millennium to the current 4,059, with the prospect of reaching 50 in 50 years. If we expand the map a little more, this town in Girona is surpassed by only two municipalities in the whole of Catalonia, according to data from Idescat. These are Talamanca, a small mountain village in Bages, which has grown from 100 to 223 inhabitants since 2011, and Pobla de Mafumet, which has tripled its population to reach numbers similar to those of Vilablareix thanks to its proximity to the Camp de Tarragona petrochemical plant.
