Pico Espigüete, Mountain summit in Montaña Palentina, Spain.

Rising to 2,450 meters, Pico Espigüete features a pyramidal shape with smooth southern slopes and vertical northern walls of limestone rock.

Geologist Casiano de Prado completed the first documented climb of Pico Espigüete in 1854, marking the beginning of mountaineering activities in this area.

The mountain stands within Fuentes Carrionas y Fuente Cobre-Montaña Palentina Natural Park, supporting traditional mountain communities and regional customs.

Access to Pico Espigüete trails begins from the villages of Cardaño de Abajo or Cardaño de Arriba, with summer offering the most favorable climbing conditions.

The mountain hosts an endemic plant species, Sempervivum Giuseppii, discovered in 1935 and found nowhere else in the world.
