Congost River, Natural protected river in Barcelona Province, Spain

The Congost River extends for 40 kilometers through Barcelona Province, joining with the Mogent River to create the Besós River system.

During the 10th century, local communities constructed irrigation canals along the Congost River to enhance agricultural production in the surrounding areas.

The river flows through multiple municipalities, including Granollers, where residents maintain connections to the waterway through environmental programs and outdoor activities.

Several walking trails parallel the river banks, connecting different access points and providing opportunities for wildlife observation throughout the year.

The river management system incorporates inflatable dams that regulate water flow, supporting both urban requirements and environmental preservation needs.
