Voted 10/10 | Great to see some more Spanish peaks creeping into SP. Gives me something to do next time I am over there for a visit. Great changes it is even nicer to see that development can be reversed now if you only can get people to respect and care for the places where they live. (We had the same problem in Canada here with creeping urbanization into wild areas. It takes time but people eventually come around.) | |

Hasn't voted | Just because it was decided that wildlife, plants and environment had to be protected. Laguna Grande and other lakes tended to be dirty because urban people didn't respect the habitual rules in wild areas. As a result many amphibious, like some little species of frogs, and reptiles like viper were in extinction threat. Also there were 3 ski resorts on the area and another near. Valcotos was one of the smaller resorts, so Comunidad de Madrid decided to buy it and create Peñalara Natural Park. I think this fact set an example of wild areas management in Spain, even though I was one of the skiers that went there. If I collect some more information about this topic I'll add to the page. Also I'll soon add some rules to be respected in the Natural Park. Meanwhile I'd ask you a 4-stars vote, affectionately: DIEGO | |

Voted 10/10 | What a great page! A close friend of mine who I frequently backpack with is from Spain, and she loves the mountains in Spain. I can see why! BTW: that Terminator guy needs to have his SP membership terminated. | |

Voted 10/10 | Buen trabajo, Diego, como de costumbre. ¿Cuánto tiempo viene a suponer la vía normal? ¿Tú crees que me daría tiempo a meterle mano en una tarde de verano? | |

Hasn't voted | Perfectamente Enrique, la normal se puede hacer en 3 horas, ida y vuelta, por tanto si que te daría tiempo en una tarde de verano. Aunque a veces es mejor disponer de algo más de tiempo para hacerse la ruta de Dos Hermanas (normal) y el descenso por las Lagunas de Peñalara (Peñalara-Risco de los Claveles, Laguna de los Pájaros-Puerto de Cotos), que es muy bonito. 5h max. Gracias | |

Voted 10/10 | Very nice page! I thought the climb fromel Risco de los Claveles to Peñalara the mostinteresting. It reminded me of a version of the Knife Edge on Katahdin | |

Hasn't voted | Muchas gracias desainme. Yep, that climb is one of the most interesting in Peñalara. I don't know Knife Edge on Katahdin. How long and narrow is it? | |
