  abstract = {{P}revious studies from the {I}berian {C}entral {S}ystem and other mountains of the {I}berian {P}eninsula and {E}urope suggest that deglaciation in this area occurred at the end or immediately after the global {L}ast {G}lacial {M}aximum ({LGM}, 26.5-19 ka). {I}n this research, we investigate the timing and speed of deglaciation of the palaeoglacier in {L}a {V}ega gorge ({I}berian {C}entral system) since the global {LGM}, dating the outer moraines, glacially polished bedrock and glaciofluvial deposits by means of in situ cosmogenic {B}e-10 and optically stimulated luminescence. {T}he results show that one intermediate arc located at the outer frontal moraine system has an age of similar to 21 ka, being consistent with the global {LGM}. {D}eglaciation began at similar to 21-19 ka, speeding up at similar to 19 ka. {W}e estimate that around 4-5 km of the palaeoglacier receded in similar to 1-2 kyrs since similar to 19 ka, leaving {L}a {V}ega gorge probably ice-free at similar to 18 ka. {T}herefore, our data confirm that deglaciation in {S}ierra de {G}redos began at the end of the global {LGM}, characterised by a rapid and massive retreat of glaciers.},
