Maçanet-Massanes Station
Highlight • Rest Area
Junction point for two railway lines born in Barcelona, one along the coast and the other inland, hence its old name of Empalme, the station is located at kilometer 69.3 of the Barcelona-Cerbère railway line and at the kilometer point 75.1 of the Barcelona-Empalme route through Mataró, an extension of the first railway line built in Spain. Joining both lines in Maçanet, it becomes kilometer zero of the route towards Cerbère in the Maçanet Cerbère section. The section is double track and is electrified.

Torre de Marata
Highlight • Castle
The date of construction of the fortification is not known, but it appears for the first time in a written document in the year 1279.
It belonged to Alemanda de Cartellá, married to Ramón de Marata and from whom it took its name. This has been the name that has remained until today, despite having changed owners for centuries.

Maçanet de la Selva
Highlight • Settlement
The relief of the municipality is predominantly mountainous, of low altitude due to the proximity of the coast. To the north run the Sils canal and the Pins stream, forming a natural boundary with the municipality of Sils. To the west, it is the stream of Santa Coloma that marks the limit with Riudarenas and Massanas. Finally, to the southwest, the Tordera river borders Fogars de la Selva. Puig Marí stands out within the territory (237 meters), although the altitude ranges between 329 meters in the southeast (Montbarbat) and 40 meters on the banks of the Tordera river. The village rises 100 meters above sea level.
The municipality has an area of 45.77 km2. In 2022 it had a population of 7572 inhabitants and a density of 165.43 hab/km2.
