Peña de La Cabra

Peña de La Cabra is a mountain summit reaching 1,831 meters as part of the Circo de la Puebla range. Its form is marked by several distinct ridges that define its overall profile and structure.

The mountain served as a geographical landmark for centuries, helping to mark boundaries between different municipalities in Madrid province. Its location made it a key reference point in the rural landscape.

The name relates to the goat herds that once grazed in the area and were tended by local shepherds. This connection to the animals has remained part of how people here speak about the mountain.

Several hiking trails lead to the summit, with the most accessible route starting from Puerto de la Puebla along the northern ridge. The trails are marked, but weather can change quickly at this elevation.

The mountain's form resembles a battleship, with four clear ridges creating natural channels where small mountain streams flow year-round. This distinctive shape makes the summit memorable from any viewing angle.
