Morra de Lechugales, Mountain summit in Picos de Europa, Spain
The Morra de Lechugales peak rises to 2444 meters, featuring a large oblique limestone block along its ridge within the Eastern Massif of Picos de Europa.
This mountain represents a geological formation dating back to the Carboniferous period, when tectonic movements created the current structure of the Cantabrian mountain range.
The mountain stands as a reference point for the traditional pastoral communities of Asturias and Cantabria, who have used these slopes for grazing livestock.
Climbers can reach the summit through multiple routes, with the main trail starting from Vegas de Sotres requiring approximately ten hours for a complete round trip.
The peak includes a challenging ten-meter rock section rated UIAA II+ to III-, where a fixed rope assists climbers during their descent since 2013.
