Masllorenç, inland Costa Daurada Wildfire Risk: Should I Travel?

Three roads were cut and about 500 people were confined indoors on 29 July inland from Tarragona.

Short answer: This was over in an afternoon. A fire between Masllorenç and Bonastre on 29 July closed the TV-2041 and TV-2042 completely and part of the C-51Z, and around 500 people were told to stay indoors. Everything was lifted once the fire was stabilised the same evening. The Costa Daurada beaches and resorts were not affected.

No active fire reported in Masllorenç, inland Costa Daurada, but check what is still shut

No new fire has been reported in Masllorenç, inland Costa Daurada as of 2 August 2026 at 03:59 UK time. That does not mean everything has reopened. After a fire the disruption that affects a trip usually outlasts the flames, so before you travel check:

  • Roads and rail: routes can stay closed for clearance, resurfacing and unstable trees long after the fire is out.
  • Campsites, aires and accommodation: some stay shut, some reopen partially; confirm directly rather than assuming a booking stands.
  • Forest, park and footpath access: access bans are common for weeks afterwards, and fines apply. Walking and cycling routes are often the last to reopen.
  • Water, power and phone signal: rural supplies and masts can take time to restore.
  • Air quality: smouldering ground and ash can affect air well after the flame front has gone.
  • Flooding and debris: burned hillsides shed mud, rock and ash in the first heavy rain, which can close roads again.

The official sources below carry the current position on closures and reopening; they take precedence over this page.
