Jálama

The Jálama is a mountain in western Spain.

Etymology

In the local language of the northwestern Province of Cáceres, the mountain is known as Xálima. Both names probably come from Paleohispanic languages. The Jálama Valley is home to a Galician-like language, known as Fala.

The mountain is located on the border between the provinces of Cáceres and Salamanca. It is one of the highest peaks of the mountain range named Serra de Xálima. Its summit offers a good view of Salamanca's upland.
Around 3 km NE from the summit, the Arroyo de la Cervigona waters create a 60 m waterfall, the highest in the area.

The summit can be accessed from Acebo, through the Mirador de La Ventosa and the mountain pass of Puerto de Perales.
