Peña Prieta, Mountain summit in Cordillera Cantábrica, Spain
Peña Prieta rises to 2,539 meters above sea level, featuring dark north face cliffs and steep slopes within the Fuentes Carrionas Natural Reserve.
The mountain range served as a natural barrier between the Christian kingdoms and Muslim territories during the medieval period of the Iberian Peninsula.
Local shepherds maintain traditional practices in the surrounding valleys, grazing their flocks on seasonal pastures near the mountain slopes.
Access to the summit requires proper hiking equipment and careful planning, with multiple trailheads available from Puerto de San Glorio and Llanaves de la Reina.
The peak marks the highest point in Palencia province and stands as the tallest mountain in the Cantabrian Range outside Picos de Europa.
