Railway traffic on the R11 line has been suspended this March 15th between Caldes de Malavella and Figueres due to severe wind conditions in the area.

According to Renfe, the disruption began around 10:35 AM after several trees and fences fell onto the tracks between Sant Miquel de Fluvià and Girona. The affected area was expanded throughout the day as weather conditions worsened.
A replacement bus service has been organized to transport passengers across the affected section. Local weather stations have recorded wind gusts of nearly 100 km/h, which continue to impact transport infrastructure in the Alt Empordà and Selva regions.
