Hiking in Spain - Sistema Central (Chapter)
This is the Sistema Central chapter from Lonely Planet's Hiking in Spain guidebook.
There's more to central Spain than Don Quixote, windmills and vast wheat fields. An unexpected spine of 2200m-plus mountains called the Sistema Central provides an oasis of alpine wilderness in the sometimes-bleak tableland, and offers many spectacular walks, both popular and far flung.
