The classic stronghold of the Iberian ibex (Capra pyrenaica), a distinct cousin of the Alpine species. Thousands roam the granite cirques of Gredos and are famously tame around the Plataforma de Gredos trailhead and Laguna Grande, where the autumn rut (November) brings the most spectacular displays.
