The 5 Most Amazing Peaks around Hoyos De Miguel Muñoz

The Navarredonda de Gredos Stargazing Viewpoint is one of the most outstanding spots for astronomical observation in the Sierra de Gredos mountain range, within the Starlight Reserve, which guarantees dark skies free from light pollution. It is located in Navarredonda de Gredos (Ávila), at an altitude of approximately 1,600 meters, ensuring clear, unobstructed skies. It forms part of the network of stargazing viewpoints in the Gredos Regional Park, designed for astrotourism and night photography. It is near the Parador de Gredos hotel and the Navarredonda Children's Park, with easy access by car and a parking area.

The ridge towards Rubia is full of bizarrely eroded large rock formations

With a little luck you can also meet Iberian ibexes on the Pico. We were lucky and since the ibexes are obviously used to hikers, we were able to approach carefully within a few meters.

The route continues along the path that runs along the mountain range. The path is marked with stone markers from the end of the firebreak, it goes up to the right of the first block of the Risco del Bierzo and then to the left of the main summit to the extensive Bierzo hill. The geodesic vertex of La Fría draws attention at the top of some isolated and solitary cliffs, you have to climb the “little stick” at least to take the photo and for the views, although the route of the ridge offers an extraordinary panoramic view at all times. El Torozo and La Mira get almost all the attention. The trail leaves the summit of La Fría (1,983 m) on the left and goes down the southeast slope to the Morillas de Cañamarejo hill. The rope is difficult to run, you need to have experience, strong ankles and a taste for these technical trails on the Gredos summits. The path looks for the best passes on the southeastern slope of the granite towers and reaches the summit of Risco de las Morillas (1,992 m), the highest peak of the ridge and the roof of the trail, although there is no milestone, cross, or vertex. or sculpture that distinguishes the summit. The track passes through the summit because it is the highest point in the mountain massif between the port of Arenal and the port of Pico, for summit collectors, but it can be avoided by taking a shortcut directly through the base of the cliff.

At about 2000 meters above sea level, the Risco de las Morillas peak in the eastern part of the Sierra de Gredos Regional Park is the highest point west of Puerto de Pico. Incredible views from the ridge over the entire mountain range and surrounding valleys. Be sure to check the weather before hitting the trail.

The peak of Torozo is located east of the port of Pico and represents one of the most western peaks in this area of the Sierra de Gredos. The views it offers are very beautiful, although in winter, the snow and the cold can make it difficult!!

The mountain range is located on the Iberian Peninsula on the territory of the provinces of Ávila, Cáceres, Toledo and the autonomous community of Madrid. The highest point is the 2592 m high Pico Almanzor. The Sierra de Gredos is the headwaters of the Tormes, Alberche and Tiétar rivers; it forms the watershed between the water systems of the Duero to the north and the Tajo to the south. Parador of the Gredos Between crystalline waters, rugged rocks and the green pine forests of the Sierra de Gredos, the Parador de Gredos, the first of all Paradores, has been entrenched behind stately stone walls since 1928. In the interior, the rustic furnishings ensure comfort and a stately ambience at the same time. Here, on the ridge of the Alto del Risquillo, the majestic building offers impressive panoramas over the Valle de Tormes, the Sierrau de Piedrahita and Béjar mountain ranges and the Gredos massif.
