Sierra de la Paramera y Serrota, Protected mountain range in Province of Ávila, Spain

The mountain range consists of three distinct alignments within the Central System, with peaks reaching heights of 2,300 meters above sea level.

Medieval texts mention dense forests and bears around Serrota mountain, indicating significant environmental changes through deforestation for pastoral activities over centuries.

The Veton castro of Ulaca and the Visigothic settlement of Cabeza de Navasangil represent important archaeological sites within the mountain range.

The protected area spans 22,586 hectares across multiple municipalities including Riofrío, Mironcillo, Sotalvo, and Solosancho in the Province of Ávila.

The mountains contain five glacier formations, with Los Hornillos glacier leaving notable erosion marks on the granite landscape.
