The Sierra de Gredos mountains (featured in
Trail magazine in June 2004), still as yet
an unspoilt wild area, form part of the
Sistema Central and
are ideal for those interested in nature,
botany, geology and geography, whether for
enjoyment or a field trip. Frederic Grunfeld,
in his book "Wild Spain", says "to my mind
there are no more dramatic mountains in
Spain than the Sierra de Gredos". The Parque
Regional de la Sierra de Gredos (Gredos
Regional Park) covers some 86,236 hectares
(213,098 acres) and is a natural paradise.
If you are looking for the real Spain and
not a villa with pool on the Costas then
this is the place for you!
