La Pinareja

La Pinareja is a mountain summit in the Sierra de Guadarrama that rises in Segovia Province and forms the highest point of the Mujer Muerta mountain range. The peak is surrounded by forested terrain and offers views across the surrounding landscape from its highest point.

The mountain was used for centuries by shepherds and travelers crossing the Sierra de Guadarrama on traditional routes. These ancient paths continue to shape the hiking trails of the region today.

The summit is popular with hikers from the region and regularly visited by locals, especially during warmer months. The route is maintained today as an important part of local recreational culture.

The ascent from Cercedilla through Puerto de La Fuenfría is a demanding hike that requires proper equipment and navigation tools. Bringing sufficient water and wearing sturdy footwear are essential, and starting early in the morning is recommended to allow adequate time.

The granite formations of the peak create natural wind barriers that protect several plant species from extreme weather conditions. These high-altitude species are rarely found in the region, making the summit particularly valuable for nature enthusiasts.
