Peña Cabarga, Mountain summit in Sierra de la Gándara, Spain
The Peña Cabarga massif rises to 569 meters above sea level, offering panoramic views of Santander Bay and the Cantabrian coastline.
Iron oxide deposits on the southwestern slope were continuously mined from Roman times until 1988, earning Peña Cabarga the name 'Iron Mountain'.
The summit features the Monument to the Indiano, a structure commemorating Spanish emigrants who returned from the Americas after making their fortune.
Visitors can reach the mountain peak by car or choose to hike along marked trails that wind through the limestone landscape.
The mountain houses the main television and radio broadcasting center for Cantabria and has hosted five stage finishes in the Vuelta a España cycling race.
