Andalucía is a land of contrasts. 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. Rare, endemic plants grow in the dry riverbeds in the Desierto and numerous butterflies grace the boulder-strewn heights of the Sierra Nevada. Each corner of this, the largest of Spain's autonomous regions, is different, but all share one characteristic - they all are superb natural areas that stand out for one reason or another.Andalucía is too large and diverse to do justice in a single guidebook.
