Pico Gilbo, Mountain summit in Riaño, Spain.
Pico Gilbo rises to 1,679 meters in elevation, featuring steep limestone cliffs and vertical walls that dominate the landscape of northern León province.
The construction of Riaño reservoir in 1987 transformed the surrounding valley, submerging several villages and altering the access routes to Pico Gilbo mountain.
Local residents name this peak the Leonese Cervino due to its physical resemblance to the Matterhorn, representing a symbol of regional mountaineering heritage.
The ascent from Riaño covers 8.26 kilometers with 721 meters of elevation gain, requiring approximately 4 hours for experienced hikers to reach the summit.
The mountain contains the Cave of the Old Lady, where according to regional tales, a mysterious figure prepares bread inside the rocky cavern.
