La Covacha, Mountain summit in Sierra de Gredos, Spain.
La Covacha rises to an elevation of 2399 meters, marking the highest point of the western massif within the Sierra de Gredos mountain range.
The mountain's name derives from ancient Spanish settlers who identified small cave formations along its rocky slopes during their initial explorations.
Local shepherds maintain traditional grazing practices around La Covacha, where domesticated livestock shares the landscape with native ibex populations.
The ascent requires technical climbing skills and proper equipment, with access points starting from the villages of Barco de Ávila or Jarandilla de la Vera.
Three distinct ridges extend from the summit, featuring secondary peaks and connecting to Cancho del Losar through a northeastern mountain corridor.
