Sierra de Gredos Regional Park
Sierra de Gredos Regional Park
It’s recognised as a stargazing destination by the Starlight Foundation.
Located in the south of Castile and León, it encompasses 28 municipalities and is presented as a spectacular succession of lagoons, cirques, gorges and cliffs due to the erosion it has suffered throughout different glacial periods. Two of the most impressive spots of the park are the cirque and the Laguna Grande de Gredos lagoon. Both are of glacial origin and are dominated by Almanzor, which at 2,592 meters is the highest peak in the entire Central System. Among the various hikes available to explore this natural area, the one that reaches the cirque stands out, allowing you to see several waterfalls until you reach the highest peaks. Of great importance is the wide variety of plant and animal species that this Regional Park houses, among which the Spanish ibex undoubtedly stands out.Also in Gredos, visitors can go cycling, trekking or rock climbing and visit several towns with an interesting heritage, such as Candeleda and El Barco de Ávila, or impressive spots like the Roman road of Puerto del Pico.
