Mount Abantos, Mountain summit in Sierra de Guadarrama, Spain
Mount Abantos reaches an elevation of 1,753 meters and features slopes covered with pine forests in the Sistema Central mountain range.
During the reign of King Philip II in the 16th century, the mountain was known as Buen Monte del Oso due to its abundant wildlife.
The mountain's name originates from 'abanto', referring to the black and griffon vultures that frequently circle above its peak.
Hikers can access Mount Abantos through San Lorenzo de El Escorial, which offers transportation connections and multiple trail options.
A weather station and yellow electromagnetic signal reflector panel stand at the mountain's summit, serving meteorological monitoring purposes.
