Calar Alto is the highest peak (2168 m over sea level) in the Sierra de Los Filabres, a mountain chain in Andalusia, Spain. It is also the highest peak in the said mountain range.

It hosts the Calar Alto astronomical observatory, which benefits

from two aspects of the climate in the region: the dry atmosphere reduces the restrictions that atmospheric water vapor adds to the transmission characteristics of seeing through

the atmosphere (see also the article Tabernas Desert), and the low number of cloudy nights adds nicely

to the efficiency of observations through the year.
