This has always been a pet peeve of mine. Every year during the Vuelta, I start seeing comments from non-Spaniards calling the Spanish countryside "dry", "arid", "parched" or "moon-like". I find this baffling. Is this a concious exaggeration? Is it because we're used to seeing the greener landscapes of other European countries more to the north? Do you guys really don't see any difference between the Mediterranean landscape of Spain and the truly arid landscape of, say, Dubai?
This could also be a place to post pictures of your favourite natural spots in Spain. Maybe there are some fellow hikers here.
I'll start with a classic, the rolling hills by Ronda, in Andalusia: https://michealoreilly.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/img_2443.jpg
