Cabeza Mediana is a mountain summit in the Sierra de Guadarrama, part of Spain's central mountain range. The peak rises above the surrounding landscape, offering views across the forested slopes and rocky terrain that define this area.
The Sierra de Guadarrama has served as a natural boundary and passage route between regions for centuries. This location made the mountains significant in the movement of people and goods across central Spain throughout history.
Local mountaineering groups regularly organize guided expeditions to Cabeza Mediana, teaching participants about regional geological formations and mountain safety.
