Mountains of Spain


  • Picos de Europa and Cordillera Cantábrica.
    In the north of Spain there are two range of mountains. The one to the east separates Spain from France, and is called
    Pyrenees. The one to the west is Cordillera Cantábrica. Due to its characteristic features, the west part of this range
    has its own name: Picos de Europa.

  • Galayos and El Torozo.
    In the center of Spain there is a range of mountains with SW-NE orientation called Sistema Central. Madrid is just to
    the south of this range and Avila to the north. Galayos and El Torozo are located in the south-west part of this range.
