Wild Spain (España agreste) Records of Sport with Rifle, Rod, and Gun, Natural History Exploration

The book invites listeners into the rugged heart of Spain, seen through the eyes of two seasoned sportsmen‑naturalists who spent decades roaming its untamed sierras. Their accounts follow the changing seasons, beginning with spring outings that blend the thrill of tracking ibex and bustard with careful observations of the land’s hidden flora and fauna. Along the way they note the customs of remote villages, the rustle of shepherds’ herds, and the subtle rhythms of the wild, offering a vivid portrait of a country far beyond the usual tourist routes.

Interspersed with more than a hundred sketches and photographs—many drawn on the spot by the authors—the narrative balances the excitement of the chase with thoughtful natural‑history commentary. Listeners will hear detailed descriptions of elusive mountain goats, soaring birds, and the quiet moments spent bivouacking under starlit skies, all while the authors weave in practical insights about hunting, conservation, and the sheer beauty of Spain’s rugged wilderness.
