The Pico del Águila ("Eagle's Peak") is an approximately 970 m high mountain on the northern edge of the La Alcarria plateau in the Spanish province of Guadalajara. The mountain is about 20 km north-east of the provincial capital of Guadalajara, which is about 700 m high. The mountain breaks off to the north through a striking, approx. 200 m high steep slope that can be seen from afar. To the east and west it slopes more gently and wooded into the valley of Valdenoches, which has been a suburb of Guadalajara since 1969. [wp:de]
