Parque Regional de la Sierra de Gredos: The Absolute Essentials

Spanning over 86,000 hectares in the province of Ávila, this regional park protects the highest peaks of the Sistema Central. The landscape is defined by the 2,592-meter Pico Almanzor, glacial lagoons like Laguna Grande, and the granite massifs of the Circo de Gredos. Historic landmarks include the exceptionally preserved Roman road at Puerto del Pico and the Santuario de Chilla. Local mountain inns across the Tormes and Tiétar valleys serve traditional Castilian cuisine, including regional meats and stews.
