Mount Cabeza de Manzaneda

Mount Cabeza de Manzaneda reaches 1,781 meters in elevation and features steep slopes with grades reaching up to 13.6 percent on its asphalted access road.

The mountain's strategic location in the Macizo Central Orensano made it a natural boundary between different Galician territories throughout medieval times.

This peak has gained recognition in Spanish sports as it represents a demanding climb stage in the professional cycling race Vuelta a España.

Three different routes lead to the summit: from Proba de Trives covering 29 kilometers, from Manzaneda spanning 22 kilometers, and from Puente Bibel extending 30.5 kilometers.

The summit houses both telecommunications antennas and winter sports facilities, making it the only mountain in Ourense that combines technical infrastructure with recreational activities.
