Pico Cuiña, Mountain summit in Sierra de Ancares, Spain
Pico Cuiña reaches an elevation of 1,992 meters, making it the highest point in the Sierra de Ancares mountain range of northwestern Spain.
The mountain stands as a natural boundary between the provinces of León and Lugo, marking traditional territorial divisions since the medieval period.
Local communities in the Ancares region maintain traditional mountain practices, including seasonal grazing and the preservation of ancient mountain paths.
The ascent to Pico Cuiña begins at Puerto de Ancares parking area, following marked trails through a 2-hour climb to reach the summit.
The eastern face of Pico Cuiña contains a glacial lake, Pozo Ferreira, which reflects the mountain peaks during clear weather conditions.
