The highest peak is Mount Peñalara (2,430 m). The area is very undulating, and the Guadarrama Pass connects Madrid with the cities of the former Castile region. There are ski resorts and other tourist and recreation facilities at the foot of the mountain, making it a resort in the capital. [Kurihara Naoko]
