On clear days, spectacular views of the Penedès.

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.

Around the pass known as Pas del Príncep, integrated into the Frares Encantats region according to the topological division made in his time by Josep Barberà following the guidelines of Ramon de Semir, there is a series of slender needles that they have been quite climbed due to their proximity to the portella path to port. The toponymy of the place is to be studied. The Prince's given name is old. In Joan Cabeza's map from 1909, this place is already indicated, placing it as a step on the way from Col de Port (on the map it is called Porc) to El Bruc through the path of the Lloro stream, Arcada cave and the Castle. The Montserrat guide. Itineraries also published in 1909 by the Revista Montserratina, of which the previous map is a supplement, gives more details of this step in the description of itinerary XIII "A la Roca foradada, sant Pau vell i font de coll de Port”, this last name is written as porch. It is interesting to point out that in the description of this itinerary it is mentioned that after the Pas del Príncep, coming from the port pass, there is a path to the right in the direction of the Ampla canal and that continues towards Les Pouetons and Les Boïgues. Over time this path is what today has become the main road from La Portella to Coll de Port. The small or lower rock of Pas de Príncep, to the south, and the Gran de Pas de Príncep spire, to the north, form said pass

Pas del Princep is a passage between two pinnacles, called Agulla Superior del Pas del Príncep and El Bitllat. The pass is elevated and offers good views of the western part of the massif, spectacular!

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.
