    El Yelmo, also known as Peña del Diezmo, is a cliff in the Guadarrama mountain range, in the Iberian Peninsula. El Yelmo, one of the best-known places in the area known as La Pedriza, has a height of 1717 meters. It is located in the Spanish municipality of Manzanares el Real, in the northwest of the Community of Madrid. It is a huge plate of pink granite and is the center of attraction for numerous climbers. Seen from the south it is shaped like a medieval helmet. According to calculations, the El Escorial monastery could be carved life-size inside the dome.

      Beautiful place for a picnic. From here you can also watch the climbers making their way up the Yelmo with ropes.
