Like a giant, natural wall the Pyrenees separates the Iberian Peninsula from the rest of Europe. Snow-capped peaks of well over 3, 000 metres block cool moist air from the north, leaving the Iberian hinterland dry & hot. The climatic differences between the Spanish Pyrenees & their foothills are amongst the most dramatic of Europe. This region is wild & has an extremely diverse flora & fauna. Huesca (Spain) is the northern, & most diverse, of Aragon's three provinces. It covers both the wild High Pyrenees, their wooded foothills & the steppes in the basin of the Ebro. There are few areas in Europe with such a diversity of landscapes & of flora & fauna. From the alpine heights of Ordesa to dry semi-desert of Belchite, this guidebooks shows you the best sites & reveals their flora & fauna. The geology & local l&-use history is fully described in the opening chapters, explaining how the special habitats arose, & how they are all important to the special fauna & flora of the region. The guide covers the wildflowers, birds & all other wildlife routes, where-to-watch-birds information & other observation tips.21 routes are fully described & mapped, with many adjacent locations identified. This Crossbill Guide to the natural history of the Spanish Pyrenees is not only the 11th in this most popular series, but is arguably one of the best descriptions to this very special part of the European continent. With much of Europe under tremendous development pressure, it is refreshing to know that places of such outstanding natural beauty are still on our doorstep & immediately accessible. Dirk Hilbers description of the habitats & wildlife of this exceptional area ranks amongst the best natural history writing one might find anywhere & his passion & commitment to encouraging travelers to explore such regions comes across well, as does his hope that such sensitive tourism will serve the long-term aim of conserving & cherishing such natural remnants as the Pyrenees for future generations. ...

At eighty-two years old, Mary Lee Settle set off alone to find the Spain she thought she knew. But, like Columbus on another voyage of discovery, she found something-many things-that she hadn`t known she was looking for. Winner of a National Book Award for fiction & author of an acclaimed book of travel & history on Turkey, Settle brings to her task the visual equivalent of perfect pitch. She follows the great, traumatic flows in Spanish history: the Moorish conquest from south to north, & the Christian reconquista several hundred years later in the opposite direction. Those epic struggles, shaped by geography, are the source of the fascinating tensions in the Spanish character, in its art, architecture, & literature, & the author`s magical prose puts these gifts in our hands. ...

Being larger than a cat, the donkey is the kind of animal Tim Moore is slightly scared of. Yet intrigued by epic accounts of a pilgrimage undertaken by one in three medieval Europeans, & committed to historical authenticity, he finds himself leading a Pyrenean ass named Shinto into Spain, headed for Santiago de Compostela. Over 500 miles of extreme weather & agonising bestial sloth, it becomes memorably apparent that for the multinational band of eccentrics who keep the Santiagan flame alive, the pilgrimage has evolved from a purely devotional undertaking into a mobile therapist`s couch. Ludicrous, heart-warming & improbably inspirational, Spanish Steps is the story of what happens when a rather silly man tries to walk all the way across a very large country, with a very large animal who doesn`t really want to. ...
