La Mira, Mountain summit in Sierra de Gredos, Spain.

La Mira reaches 2343 meters in elevation, featuring a northern slope with moderate trails and southern face with steep rocky cliffs.

During the late 18th century, engineers constructed an optical telegraph station at the summit, leaving behind a cylindrical platform structure.

The summit stands between Circo de Gredos and Puerto del Pico, serving as a reference point for local mountaineering communities in central Spain.

Two main access routes lead to the peak: the northern path from Plataforma de Gredos and the southern trail starting at Nogal del Barranco.

A natural spring on the northern slope regularly attracts groups of ibex, making this location a prime spot for wildlife observation.
