Collada de Bracons, Mountain pass between Osona and Garrotxa, Catalonia, Spain
Collada de Bracons is a 1,132-metre mountain pass on the boundary between Sant Pere de Torelló (Osona) and La Vall d'en Bas (Garrotxa). It lies on the watershed between the Ter and Fluvià basins, where the BV-5224 from Manlleu and the GIV-5273 from Joanetes meet.
Collada de Bracons lies at 1,132 m on the watershed between the Ter and Fluvià basins, and the crest of the pass forms the municipal boundary between Sant Pere de Torelló (Osona) and La Vall d'en Bas (Garrotxa). The sources record no medieval or territorial history for the pass itself; its documented role is as a road crossing, where the BV-5224 from Manlleu via Sant Pere de Torelló meets the GIV-5273 toward the C-152 through Joanetes.
The pass lies on the watershed between the Ter and Fluvià basins, and the boundary between Sant Pere de Torelló (Osona) and La Vall d'en Bas (Garrotxa) runs across it. The BV-5224 climbs from Manlleu via Sant Pere de Torelló, while the GIV-5273 heads northeast through Joanetes to the C-152.
The pass is reached by the BV-5224 from Manlleu via Sant Pere de Torelló, or by the GIV-5273, which links to the C-152 through Joanetes to the northeast. From the pass a path leads toward the Puigsacalm summit. The nearest larger settlement is Vilaseca, about 11 km to the southwest.
The pass sits on the watershed between the Ter and Fluvià basins, so rain falling on one side and the other ends up in different rivers. It is also the start of one of the possible routes to the Puigsacalm summit.
