Natural Parks of Spain

According to IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature), a natural park is part of the protected natural spaces And it can be defined as a surface, whether water or land, which forms an ecological unit that has relevance and, therefore, work in its conservation, being able to be at the level of the state or level of autonomy or both, regardless of whether or not there is legal protection. Therefore, it’s about natural places with special biological or landscape characteristics.

Not all natural parks are national parks, but vice versa. Nationals meet conditions that indicate that they have a natural value by which they deserve to be preserved At the national management level, that is, for the Government and in some cases at the UNESCO level. On the other hand, natural parks are both national and others that are protected natural areas but only at the regional or local level. However, to make the difference between these two types of parks well, we can say that the natives do not have a common organism that manages them nationwide, each one is managed at the local level and nationals, although they are natural sites they are managed by a national common organism.

In these natural reserves, we work to preserve the biodiversity of these areas, being some part of the World Heritage.

It is a Natural Space Protected in Andalusiain southern Spain. It is a large area with such a variety of ecosystems and landscapes that has become one of the most special places, as there are marshes, coasts, forests, plains and dunes. It houses a large number of fauna and flora species, and even houses endangered specieslike the Iberian lynx. In its entirety it occupies a space of 108,086 hectares. He was declared as a natural and national park in 1969.

In addition, it is one of the protected natural parks but is even more special, because in this case it is not only by Spanish laws, but Doñana’s park is World Heritagegranted by UNESCO since 1994.

He Teide National Park It is considered one of the 10 most beautiful landscapes in Spain. In this protected area is the Teide volcano, hence the park receives this name. Teide Park in Tenerifethe Canary Islands, is considered The most visited natural and national parkwith an average of 4,079,823 visitors a year.

This is the most extensive national park, since its extension is just under 19,000 hectares, and also of the oldest of the Canary Islands. In addition, even if it is a volcanic area it is a place of great biological wealth, that is, it is a place where there is incredible biodiversity. Therefore, Teide’s Natural and National Park was declared in 2007 World Heritage of Humanity for Unesco.

He Los Picos de Europa Park It is a biosphere reserve, this being approved by UNESCO in 2003, located in the Northern Spain and that has an extension of 67,455 hectares. Specifically, it is in the Cantabrian mountain range, so it is between the provinces of Asturias, Cantabria and León.
