La Villuerca, Mountain summit in Las Villuercas, Cáceres Province, Spain.
La Villuerca rises to 1,603 meters above sea level, standing as the highest peak in the Sierra de Villuercas mountain range of Extremadura.
The mountain name dates back to 1353 and later became the designation for the entire Las Villuercas comarca within the Cáceres Province.
The summit contains remains of military installations from the 1980s Base Centro Táctico, including communication antennas and a concrete heliport platform.
A narrow paved road stretches 5.4 kilometers to reach the summit, featuring an elevation gain of 580 meters with gradients reaching 15 percent.
During winter months, snow covers the granite peak, creating a stark contrast against the surrounding Montes de Toledo mountain system landscape.
