did you know that…? [Did you know that…?] Sierra de Guadarrama (Madrid & Castilla y León)

[FHISKER]

The Sierra de Guadarrama, located just north of Madrid, reaches 2,428 meters at its highest peak, Peñalara. This mountain range has long been a natural escape for the people of Madrid, offering a mix of alpine meadows, glacial lagoons, and pine forests. Declared a National Park in 2013, Guadarrama is a vital habitat for wildlife such as the Iberian wolf, imperial eagle, and mountain goats. Its accessibility makes it one of the most visited ranges in Spain, combining outdoor adventure with cultural history, since its slopes are dotted with old monasteries and battle sites.

The Sierra de Guadarrama is the perfect blend of wilderness and proximity — an easy gateway to nature right next to the Spanish capital.
