Hiking

The Laguna Grande de Gredos is a lagoon that occupies a glacial overdeepening basin in the Circo de Gredos. It is an exorheic lagoon, with transparent waters that freeze in winter. It is surrounded by the walls of the crests of the Hermanitos, Cerraíllos, the Morezón to the east; by Risco Moreno and Cerro de las Huertas to the west and presided over by the summit of the Almanzor to the south.
