Los Galayos 2-day alpine adventure with a guide

Discover Los Galayos in this 2-day alpine adventure I bring today.

Los Galayos area is also known as El Galayar. It is a group of granite needles between 2000 and 2200 meters high located in Sierra de Gredos, in the province of Avila. Its name derives from the Arabic language and means "bare rock that rises in a mount".

In addition, these granite towers that stand in front of the Victory hut are part of the history of the Spanish mountaineering. Despite its imposing appearance, all granite spires have a weak point. I will help you find it and reach the summits of El Torreon and El Gran Galayo with ease. They are 2 of the three most emblematic peaks of El Galayar. The third one is Punta Ma Luisa which we'll also climb. Furthermore, we will enjoy these ascents through two of the most spectacular routes. They are La Gran Cresta de la Catedral and La Cresta del Torreon.

Please find the complete day-by-day program at the end of this description. And remember that the best period to come to Sierra de Gredos is from April till October. You can also seize your time in the area and ascend the Almanzor summit. It will be a unique experience of just one day!
