Pico Almanzor

Pico Almanzor is the highest mountain in central Spain.

Situated in the Sierra de Gredos in the province of Ávila, Almanzor is 2,591 metres (8,501 ft) high.

Al-Mansur Ibn Abi Aamir was a general and statesman in Muslim Spain (Caliphate of Cordoba) during the late 10th century.

Muhammad bin Abi Amir was his real name; the Moors in Spain gave him the title of Al-Mansur due to his victories over the Christians.

Pico Almanzor was climbed for the first time in September 1899 by M. González de Amezúa and José Ibrián.
