Spain
can be rugged, high, and dry. Or flat, low, and wet. Or anything
in between.
Because of its varied terrain, Spain has more wild and beautiful
places than any other country in Europe. These places exist in a sometimes
comfortable, sometimes uneasy relationship to human settlement. Responding to
the ancient closeness of human beings and nature in Spain, the Spanish
environmental movement has emphasized public education more than than land
preservation. However, large areas of Spain have been set aside in an
enlightened system of ten national parks plus hundreds of hunting reserves,
natural reserves, and other protected areas.
