Facts and practical information

La Maliciosa is one of the most important and highest mountains of the Sierra de Guadarrama, a mountain formation belonging to the Sistema Central. It has an altitude of 2227 metres above sea level and is located in the northwest of the Community of Madrid, in Spain, rising between La Pedriza, which lies to the east, and the valley of La Barranca, which is on its western slope.

It has a prominence of 153 meters, its profile is unmistakable and stands out remarkably in the Central Plateau. This makes it one of the most striking and significant mountains in the Sierra de Guadarrama. Its southern face is the steepest and there are several ravines, alpine meadows and rocky areas. The slopes of La Maliciosa are dominated by low mountain scrubland, although there are areas covered with wild pines. A large part of this mountain is within the regional park of the Cuenca Alta del Manzanares and within the national park of Guadarrama.
