The Serra de Moixeró is often confused as a part of the Serra del Cadí, despite the fact that these two ranges are separated by the Tancalaporta pass. The confusion is widespread enough that Cadí Tunnel, which connects Cerdanya with the rest of Catalonia beneath the Serra de Moixeró, was erroneously named for the adjacent range.
