La Mira

La Mira is a peak of the Sierra de Gredos range in central Spain. It is located in the central part of the Sierra de Gredos range, a subrange of the larger Sistema Central, in the autonomous community of Castile and León. Listed at 2343m, it marks the common boundary of Arenas de San Pedro, Guisando, El Hornillo and Hoyos del Espino municipalities.Like many of the highest mountains in the range La Mira is notable for its quite important local relief relative to the south side, where the Tiétar Valley is located at 400m. The relative prominence, 348m, is not that great, as it is connected to Pico Almanzor (2591m), the highest mountain of Sistema Central.The climbing is quite easy: the top can be reached both through the north and the south side. The northern access starts at Plataforma de Gredos (1800m), while the southern access starts at Nogal del Barranco (1159m).Nearby the mountain, separated by a deep gorge called Garganta de los Galayos, Los Galayos formation, a chain of narrow peaks or columns which rises to 2200m, is located.
