Spain has eleven mountain ranges

One of the things to know before traveling to Spain is about mountains. Spain has eleven distinct mountain ranges that stretch from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, including the well-known Pyrenees, Sierra Nevada, Montserrat, Picos de Europa, and Sistema de Gredos. As a result, Spain has a distinct alpine culture, which is reflected in its climate.

At 3479 meters above sea level, the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range in the Spanish region of Andalusia is home to the country's highest point. The Sierra Nevada provides a stark alpine contrast to much of Andalusia and the Costa del Sol. The road to Pico de Veleta, the village of Capileira, ski resorts, and hiking trails are all located here. In the north of the country, there is even a coastal mountain range where you can ski and surf on the same day. Therefore, if you enjoy mountain life, whether for winter sports or adventure hikes, Spain has some truly spectacular mountain ranges to discover that you should not miss!
