This route leaves from El Bruch where there are several bars and restaurants to have a drink and enters the Muntanya de Montserrat Natural Park.
At first the route goes through wide lanes that are easy to follow through the forest, but in some places it becomes exclusively stone paths. In these areas you have to be careful because these stones can be very steep. On the route you pass first through the Vicenc Barbé Refuge and then through the peaks of Aguila de en Passola and Pico El Loro.

Trail reviews for Agulla de la Princesa
Trail is currently in decent condition except a bit of a wash out about 1/3 of the way, heading uphill. Heading back down is very steep with a lot of scree and falling possibilities. Take it slow!
Parking: Free
Beautiful scenery in the Montserrat massif. However, we encountered a major problem in the middle of the hike on the descent after the Col del Miracle. The descent is very, very steep, slippery and difficult to hold on to anywhere. So we turned back, not wanting to kill ourselves hiking. We returned via the yellow-and-white signposted Portella trail, which is easier.
