Forests between Two Worlds

Summer and winter share the Iberian Peninsula's territory: a place influenced by the humid and cold northern weather, but also by the Mediterranean heat and sun. This land connection favours the development of highly diverse forests, shaped by varied and opposing weather conditions. While some forests are originated in boreal lands and extend up to Siberia, others are adapted to the warm and dry weather, spreading across North Africa and a large part of the Mediterranean. The Peninsula's forests reflect its natural beauty. On the Iberian map, boreal forests flourish in the North, growing on mountains and seeking the cold dampness of the Atlantic Ocean. The warm Mediterranean weather pervades every corner of the Peninsula, leaving its trace all over the territory, and forming unique forests, where trees and animals have learned to endure extreme temperatures.
