Review:
The Sierra de Guadarrama is a stunning mountain range that forms the major eastern portion of the Sistema Central mountain system running through the Iberian Peninsula, located between the Sierra de Gredos and Sierra de Ayllón ranges near Ávila and Guadalajara. The range, which extends through Madrid into the province of Segovia, stretches for over 50 miles and is one of Madrid's top natural wonders. Immense mountain peaks such as Peñalara stretch nearly 8,000 feet into the sky, located within protected natural reserve environments due to their environmental sensitivity. Visitors can enjoy excellent opportunities for outdoor recreation throughout the year, including chances for hiking and rock climbing at regions like Valle de la Fuenfría and Valle de Valsaín. Map
