Sierra de Gata, Mountain region comarca in northern Cáceres, Spain

Sierra de Gata extends across 1,254 square kilometers with mountains reaching up to 1,592 meters at Peña Canchera peak.

The region maintains architectural elements from medieval times, including the Church of Our Lady of Buen Varón in Hoyos and the tower of Almenara in Gata.

Three municipalities in the region speak A Fala, a distinct language variant with different dialects in Valverde del Fresno, San Martín de Trevejo, and Eljas.

The main town Moraleja functions as the central hub for the region's 20 municipalities, serving approximately 18,500 residents.

The area borders the Portuguese Serra da Malcata Natural Reserve, creating a cross-border natural corridor with granite formations and dense oak forests.
