Travessia pela Alta Gredos
The Gredos Mountains are one of the most striking mountain ranges in the Central System of the Iberian Peninsula, stretching for about 140 kilometers across the provinces of Madrid, Ávila, Salamanca, Toledo, and Cáceres, with the majority of the range located in Ávila. Its highest point, Pico Almanzor, rises to 2,592 meters, making it the highest peak in the Central System. The granitic landscape of the Circo de Gredos was shaped by Quaternary glaciations, which carved out U-shaped valleys and created moraines and glacial lakes, including the famous Laguna Grande de Gredos. The high-altitude vegetation includes extensive broomlands, dominated by Cytisus oromediterraneus, a species characteristic of the supra-Mediterranean and oromediterranean zones. Since July 22, 1996, a substantial portion of this area has been part of the Serra de Gredos Regional Park, located in the province of Ávila, where the Gredos mountain goat, Capra pyrenaica victoriae, is found. Hikers bear witness to the mountain range’s enduring appeal to mountaineers.
