Can Maçana is an old farmhouse that gives its name to the hill in the westernmost part of the Montserrat massif. The pass is one of the natural passes between the regions of Bages and Anoia. The farmhouse belonged to the Maçana (or Massana) family during the 16th and 17th centuries. It later became the property of the Montserrat monastery (on the door you can see the coat of arms of the monastery, dated 1791). This part of the massif is known for its famous stone needles (the area is known as "the labyrinth of needles"). At this point there is a car park and it is the starting point of numerous signposted routes, such as those that go to Sant Pau Vell (ancient Romanesque church) or the historical space of the Battle of Bruc.

Narrow and at the same time beautiful passage in the middle of the Roca Gran de la Portella. In this step you have to be alert, but you are entering the mountain of Montserrat.

Route information signs. Parking €6/day on weekends.

Spectacular views of the Montserrat mountain.

Important crossroads that gives access to the Canal de Middia, which divides Montserrat Mountain in two, the regions furthest from the monastery: Agulles, Frares Encantats and Ecos to the west and the regions of Tabor, Tebes and Tebaida to the east. To the north, the Canal de la Font del Llum path connects with the GR 172 that connects Can Maçana and Santa Cecilia, to the west the path that gives access to the region of Ecos and to the south the path that gives options to continue towards the Montgròs, towards Sant Jeroni or towards the different itineraries in the south of the mountain while following the Migdia canal.

Important crossroads where the path that crosses the Agulles to the west, the Canal Ampla path to the south and the path that goes down to link with the GR 172 or Camí de Can Maçana to Santa Cecilia, to the north, converge. We could say that, if the Portella is the west door, the Portell is the north door to the Agulles Region.
