Adif technicians began cutting down trees on Tuesday, January 27, in Caldes de Malavella (La Selva) to secure the railway track following a landslide caused by the recent storm.

The work focuses on the spot where a possible landslide was registered on Monday, January 26. The heavy storm that affected the area the previous week is believed to have caused the movement, leaving several trees unstable.
These trees posed an imminent risk of falling onto the track, which is why rail traffic had already been preventively interrupted on Monday due to a possible sinkhole in the same location.

Last week's storm caused an earth movement that left several trees weakened, posing a risk of falling onto the track.

Meanwhile, Renfe information and service staff are redirecting passengers arriving via alternative bus services toward the trains that have already resumed circulation heading towards Barcelona.
