Peña Amaya, Mountain summit in Province of Burgos, Spain
Peña Amaya rises to an elevation of 1,377 meters, featuring steep limestone cliffs and extensive grasslands across its southeastern slopes.
The mountain served as a strategic defensive position during the Roman period, with archaeological remains indicating settlements dating back to the Iron Age.
Local residents celebrate an annual mountain festival in June, gathering at the base to share traditional Castilian foods and music.
The main hiking trail stretches 8.8 kilometers with a vertical gain of 265 meters, requiring approximately four hours to complete the round trip.
