Sierra de Madrid

The Sierra de Madrid is a mountain range located in the Community of Madrid, Spain. Recent news highlights two distinct aspects of the region. Firstly, the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has issued a yellow alert for the Sierra de Madrid due to strong winds, with gusts potentially reaching 80 kilometers per hour. This alert was active on a recent Sunday from 6 AM to 9 PM, prompting Emergencies 112 to inform local authorities and relevant organizations. Secondly, the area is home to pastoral activities, exemplified by Elsa Fernández, a shepherd who has established a European network related to shepherding. Her story focuses on her unexpected entry into shepherding and her subsequent involvement in building connections within the European pastoral community. This highlights the Sierra de Madrid's role as both a natural environment susceptible to weather events and a landscape where traditional livelihoods persist.
