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.

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!
