Spain Selection

Spain, located at the south-western edge of Europe, forms a natural crossroads between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, as well as between Europe and Africa. From the snow-covered Pyrenees to the volcanic landscapes of the Canary Islands, across the vast plains of the Meseta, the lush Atlantic forests of the north and the wetlands of the Ebro Delta and Doñana National Park, the country displays an extraordinary diversity of landscapes and climates.

This remarkable variety of habitats supports one of Europe’s richest biodiversities. Spain is now among the European countries most committed to wildlife conservation. Thanks to ambitious recovery programmes, iconic species such as the Iberian lynx, once on the brink of extinction, are making an impressive comeback. Iberian wolves and the Cantabrian brown bear also benefit from extensive conservation efforts, while mountains, steppes and wetlands provide refuge for one of Europe’s richest bird faunas, making Spain a premier destination for birdwatchers and wildlife photographers alike.

Through these photographs, I invite you to discover a Spain where natural heritage and biodiversity play a central role, revealing a country whose richness extends far beyond the iconic landscapes for which it is best known.
