Flora and Fauna

Spanien is divided into three parts; the very humid north with thick vegetation and fertile fields, the high plateaus of 'Meseta', (which is where Madrid is located) and the dry south.

The pine trees flourish on the dry earth in the south of Spain. The south is particularly well known for the Olive trees. 54% of the land is used for farming, reticulation systems being necessary. The main products are: grains – wheat and rice, vegetables, olives, grapes for wine (Rioja), sugar beets and citrus fruit such as oranges and lemons.
