Spain is one of the more popular hunting destinations of the European continent. Its mild Mediterranean climate favors different ecosystems, which guarantees an abundant variety of species from the North to the south of the Country.
With an area somewhat smaller than the State of Minas Gerais, the Spain’s Kingdom has over 800 years of hunting tradition in its history. The monarchs of this Nation appreciated the natural resources and enjoyed them with fancy rituals and ceremonies, demonstrating the respect and the importance of the nature therein. In the middle of the XIX Century, the hunting rights were extended to the entire people not only to the aristocracy, and since then big part of the population depends on the activity.
With a large hunting tourism industry settled, Spain today, is an example to others Countries in population control for their species. It has one of the best conservation programs in the world, which have been ensuring the production and the obtaining of enormous trophies and stable or increasing numbers of its species.
