A medieval farmhouse extended between the 16th and 18th centuries, built taking advantage of the uneven ground, which allows direct entry from the ground floor. On the ground floor there is still a vaulted nave and an old walled-in voussoir portal, a reminder of its past as a livestock farmer. In front of the façade is the old barn and, a few metres away, the pond-washing area surrounded by oak trees that showed the self-sufficiency of the place. An elevated and silent point, ideal for understanding how these farmhouses were true hubs of life in Montseny.

The large Cànoves reservoir, built in the 1980s on the former agricultural valley that was submerged. In addition to its function as a water reserve, there is a little-discussed detail: under its waters still lie the remains of terraces, old paths and some dry stone walls that can only be glimpsed in periods of extreme drought. During construction, springs and water mines were diverted that still drain the area. Access is easy, the perimeter path is gentle and the closed valley creates a characteristic silence that accompanies the entire tour. A perfect point to understand how this corner of Montseny went from an inhabited valley to a peaceful lake.

Collsuspina is a small village with fewer than 400 inhabitants. It belongs to the Moyanés region. Its name comes from the fact that it was established on the Espina pass, along the old royal road from Manresa to Vic. The pass was named after the important L'Espina farmhouse that once stood there.

Parking is difficult in the area after 10:00. The area is beautiful and has great views. You can take a practically flat route (Collformic to the ruins of El Café, but it's not circular), a more challenging one like Matagalls. And many more!
