Sierra de Guadarrama National Park

Sierra de Guadarrama National Park is a recently established protected area in central Spain, declared in June 2013 and now representing the fifth-largest national park in the country. The park encompasses the granite peaks and forested slopes of the Sierra de Guadarrama, a mountain range forming part of the Sistema Central that divides the northern and southern mesetas of the Iberian Peninsula. The protected area spans approximately 34,000 hectares across the Community of Madrid and the provinces of Segovia and Ávila in Castile and León, protecting a remarkable diversity of eleven distinct ecosystems that include the only Iberian examples of high Mediterranean mountain environments. The range serves as a critical watershed, feeding rivers that flow to both the Tagus and Duero basins. Peñalara, at 2,428 meters, stands as the park's highest summit, while the landscape features dramatic glacial cirques, pristine lagoons, and some of Spain's finest natural pine forests.
