Cabeza de la Yegua, Mountain summit in Montes de León, Spain
Cabeza de la Yegua rises to 2,142 meters above sea level in the Montes Aquilianos range, marking the border between Bierzo and Cabrera regions.
The mountain has served as a natural boundary marker between different territories throughout the development of the León province administrative divisions.
Local shepherds have traditionally used the slopes of Cabeza de la Yegua for seasonal grazing, maintaining centuries-old pastoral practices in the region.
Multiple marked hiking trails lead to the summit from different starting points, with the southern route offering the most gradual ascent for mountain climbers.
The location provides unobstructed views of both the Bierzo valley and the Cabrera region, allowing visitors to observe two distinct geographical landscapes.
