Jálama, Mountain summit in Sierra de Gata, Spain

The Jálama mountain reaches an elevation of 1,487 meters and stands at the border between the provinces of Cáceres and Salamanca in western Spain.

The mountain name originates from Paleohispanic languages, reflecting the ancient linguistic heritage of the Iberian Peninsula during pre-Roman times.

The Jálama Valley maintains a specific dialect called Fala, which combines elements of Portuguese, Spanish, and Galician languages spoken by local communities.

The ascent to Jálama starts from the town of Acebo, following marked trails through the Mirador de La Ventosa at 794 meters elevation.

Near the peak, the Arroyo de la Cervigona features a 60-meter waterfall, making it the highest natural water cascade in the entire region.
