Information is presented about the location of breeding sites of the species Anax imperator Leach, 1815 in high mountain lagoons of the Sistema Central in the province of Ávila. In this area, the breeding records of this species in the 1980s were limited to altitudes close to 1300 m a.s.l. However, coinciding with an increase in temperatures due to climate change, this species has been rising in altitude, until successfully breeding at altitudes above 1700 m a.s.l.
