Andalucía is a region of contrast. There are wild mountains and extensive marshes, dry semi-desert and barren karst, but also leafy woodlands laced with murmuring streams. The biodiversity is the highest of any of the Spanish regions. Andalucía is the stronghold of the endangered Iberian Lynx. Herds of wild Ibex roam the mountains and large numbers of vultures and eagles nest on remote, precipitous cliffs. In the wind- beaten dune scrub, the Chameleon shelters, while huge numbers of waterfowl feed in the marshes. * 18 routes (car and walk) * 28 site descriptions * Where to watch birds information * Finding butterflies, wildflowers, reptiles, etc. * Detailed background information on landscape and ecology
