Protected natural areas of Spain now amount to 28% of the land (6.3 million hectares) with 42% of the population living within those reserves. The marine ecosystems of the Mediterranean are less protected and the authorities are trying to bring coastal bio-diversity schemes up to the standards of neighbouring countries. A budget of €1,000,000 p.a is allocated to bio-diversity conservationism.
If you are contemplating a holiday this year try rural Spain it is a land full of delights. Every village in the country will be celebrating a fiesta or two, giving the artisans a chance to showcase their handicrafts and traditional food.





Hi. You helped me identify a plant in my garden a while back so I am wondering if you can do the same again. It is a very common bush found all over the campo and probably considered to be a weed, but I'd still like a name for it. I can't find an e-amil address for you anywhere so am trying this way to contact you. Please send me an e-mail at kayempea1947@googlemail.com so I can send you a photo. Many thanks, Kate
