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

A pair of seasoned hunters‑naturalists take listeners into the untamed heart of Spain, moving through spring’s blossom‑laden valleys and up to snow‑capped sierras. Their journal mixes crisp field observations with vivid sketches of the peninsula’s most elusive creatures—ibex, bustard, wild pig, and a host of little‑known birds—while still capturing the rugged beauty of the landscape itself. The narrative feels like a long, quiet campfire talk, full of anecdotes about tracking game, local customs, and the occasional encounter with wandering brigands.

The authors weave their love of sport with a genuine curiosity for natural history, describing the rhythms of each season as they follow migrating flocks and roaming herds. Their sketches, sometimes rough but always heartfelt, bring to life animals seldom seen beyond remote mountain passes. Listeners will come away with a sense of wandering through an unfamiliar world, guided by two observant companions who relish both the thrill of the hunt and the quiet wonder of discovery.
