Vizcodillo, Mountain summit in Sierra de la Cabrera, Spain
Vizcodillo is a 2121-meter summit in the Sierra de la Cabrera, part of the Galician-Leonese Massif mountain range. The peak rises above surrounding ridges and provides wide views across the landscape below.
The mountain has marked the natural boundary between Zamora and Leon provinces for centuries. This location shaped historical trade routes and regional settlement patterns.
The summit lies within the private hunting estate of Doney de la Requejada, and the mountain is also known as Peña Negra, though that name properly belongs to a nearby peak. The ascent route from the Alto del Peñón follows the provincial boundary between Zamora and León.
Hikers can reach the summit from two starting points: Doney de la Requejada or Truchillas, which has parking available. The routes suit experienced mountain walkers and vary in difficulty depending on which path you choose.
The summit sits on the provincial border of Zamora and León, and the final 4 km of the Zamora route follows that boundary line eastward, climbing about 270 m. The peak is also sometimes called Peña Negra, though that name properly belongs to a nearby summit.
