La Villuerca, also known as Risco de la Villuerca, Pico la Villuerca[1] and Pico de las Villuercas, is the highest peak of the Sierra de Villuercas mountain range in Spain, also known as Sierra de Guadalupe.
It is located 6 km west of Guadalupe town in Las Villuercas comarca, Cáceres Province, Extremadura, Spain and is the highest point of the greater Montes de Toledo system.[2]
La Villuerca has an elevation of 1,603 metres above sea level and is a conspicuous mountain that can be seen from quite a distance in the surrounding landscape. This peak has an ancient name that has been documented since 1353 and it gives its name to Las Villuercas comarca.[3]
There is a narrow paved road leading to the mountaintop, where there are abandoned military installations of the former Base Centro Táctico, CT2, Guadalupe-Villuercas with tall antennas and a heliport.[4] The peak is often covered with snow in the winter.[5]
