Guadarrama National Park
Guadarrama National Park, National park between Madrid and Segovia, Spain.
The protected area spans 33,960 hectares across the Guadarrama mountain range, featuring peaks above 2,000 meters and diverse Mediterranean mountain ecosystems.
The designation process began in the 1920s through the Peñalara Mountain climbing society, but the area received national park status in June 2013.
The mountain range houses traditional settlements, ancient paths, and historical structures that reflect centuries of human interaction with the Sierra de Guadarrama landscape.
Eight marked hiking trails and six cycling routes of varying difficulties allow visitors to explore the park's natural features throughout the year.
A wolf pack returned to the area after 70 years of absence, joining other wildlife including Spanish imperial eagles and Eurasian black vultures.
