The Guadalquivir (Spanish pronunciation: [ɡwaðalkiˈβir]) is the fifth longest river in the Iberian peninsula and the second longest river with its entire length in Spain. The Guadalquivir is 657 kilometers long and drains an area of about 58,000 square kilometers. It begins at Cañada de las Fuentes (village of Quesada) in the Cazorla mountain range (Jaén), passes through Córdoba and Seville and ends at the fishing village of Bonanza, in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, flowing into the Gulf of Cádiz, in the Atlantic Ocean. The marshy lowlands at the river's end are known as "Las Marismas". It borders Doñana National Park reserve.

The Guadalquivir river is the only great navigable river in Spain. Currently it is navigable to Seville, but in Roman times it was navigable to Córdoba.
The ancient city of Tartessos was said to have been located at the mouth of the Guadalquivir, although its site has not yet been found.
Le Guadalquivir est un fleuve espagnol qui se jette dans l'océan Atlantique à l'ouest du détroit de Gibraltar. Il doit son nom actuel à l'appellation arabe L'Oued-el-Kabir (واد الكبير), qui signifie la grande vallée (et souvent le grand fleuve en Arabe classique). Du temps de la civilisation de Tartessos, il était également appelé Tartessos. À l'époque romaine, il était connu sous le nom de Bætis, ou Betis.
Il Guadalquivir è un fiume del sud della Spagna, che attraversa l'Andalusia. Il nome deriva dall'arabo wadi al-Kabir ("fiume grande"), mentre i romani lo chiamavano fiume Baetis.
Il Guadalquivir nasce nel comune di Quesada, nel cuore della Sierra de Cazorla (Jaén) e sfocia a Sanlúcar de Barrameda, nella provincia di Cadice, attraversando le province di Cordoba e Siviglia. Il fiume è lungo 657 km e i suoi affluenti sono i fiumi Genil, Guadalbullón e Guadiana Menor.
È l'unico fiume con traffico fluviale della Spagna, al giorno d'oggi navigabile solo fino a Siviglia, mentre in epoca romana era possibile raggiungere Cordova.
Il Guadalquivir, a differenza di altri fiumi spagnoli, ha avuto parte nella storia spagnola: tra le sue rive si incontrarono due delle culture che determinarono il corso storico della penisola: la civiltà romana e quella araba.
A Siviglia è possibile prendere il battello per una crociera panoramica sul fiume.
Der Guadalquivir [gu̯aðalkiˈβiɾ] ist mit einer Länge von 657 km der fünftlängste Fluss Spaniens (nach Tajo, Ebro, Duero, und Guadiana) und der längste in Andalusien. Der Name stammt aus dem Arabischen al-wād al-kabir oder Wadi al-Kabir, الوادي الكبير, DMG al-Wādī l-kabīr ‚der große Fluss'. Der Fluss wurde von präromanischer Zeit bis in die al-Andalus-Zeit hinein Baetis (spätere Schreibweise Betis) genannt; daher war er namensgebend für die römische Provinz Hispania Baetica.
Er entspringt bei Cañada de las Fuentes in der Sierra de Cazorla (Provinz Jaén), läuft an Córdoba und Sevilla vorbei und mündet bei Sanlúcar de Barrameda in den Golf von Cádiz. Das Schwemmland am Unterlauf des Flusses wird "Las Marismas" genannt. Der Guadalquivir grenzt auch an das Naturschutzgebiet Coto de Doñana.
Der Guadalquivir ist der einzige schiffbare Fluss Spaniens. Derzeit ist er bis Sevilla auch für Hochseeschiffe schiffbar. Zu Zeiten der Römer war er bis Córdoba zu befahren.
Die antike Stadt Tartessos soll an der Flussmündung des Guadalquivir gelegen haben; ihr genauer Ort konnte bis heute noch nicht ermittelt werden.

瓜达尔基维尔河（西班牙语：Guadalquivir）是西班牙的第五长河（仅次于塔古斯河和埃布罗河），也是安达卢西亚自治区境内的第一长河。它的名字源于阿拉伯语阿尔-瓦德-阿尔-卡比尔（الوادي الكبير，音译al-Wadī al-Kabīr），意为"大河"。在阿拉伯人征服之前，这条河的名字是巴埃提斯河，罗马帝国在西班牙的行省巴埃提卡行省即以此河命名。

The marshy lowlands at the river's end are known as "Las Marismas". It borders Doñana National Park reserve. The Guadalquivir river is the only great navigable river in Spain. Currently it is navigable to Seville, but in Roman times it was navigable to Córdoba. The ancient city of Tartessos was said to have been located at the mouth of the Guadalquivir, although its site has not yet been found. The Phoenicians established the first anchorage grounds and dealt in precious metals. The Romans settled in Hispalis (Seville), in the 2nd century BC, making it into an important river port. By the 1st century BC Hipalis was a walled city with shipyards building longboats to carry wheat. In the 1st century AD the Hispalis was home to entire naval squadrons. Ships sailed to Rome with various products: minerals, salt, fish, etc. During Arab rule between 712 to 1248, the Moors left a stone dock and the Torre del Oro (Tower of Gold), to reinforce the port defences. In the 13th century, Ferdinand III expanded the shipyards and from Seville's busy port, grain, oil, wine, wool, leather, cheese, honey, wax, nuts and dried fruit, salted fish, metal, silk, linen and dye were exported throughout Europe. After the discovery of the Americas, Seville became the economic centre of the Spanish Empire as its port monopolised the trans-oceanic trade and the Casa de Contratación (House of Trade) wielded its power. As navigation of the Guadalquivir River became increasingly difficult Seville's trade monopoly was transferred to Cádiz.The construction of the artificial canal known as the Corta de Merlina in 1794 marked the beginning of the modernisation of the port of Seville. In late November 2010 the new Seville lock began to function as a regulator of the tides to finish five years of work (2005-2010). The Guadalquivir River Basin occupies an area of 63,085 km2 and has a long history of severe flooding. During the winter of 2010 heavy rainfall caused severe flooding in rural and agricultural areas in the provinces of Seville, Cordoba and Jaen in the Andalusia region. The accumulated rainfall in the month of February was above 250 liters per m2, double the precipitation for Spain for that month. In March 2010 several tributaries of the Guadalquivir flooded, causing over 1,500 people to flee their homes as a result of increased flow of the Guadalquivir River, which on 6 March 2010 reached a volume of 2000 m3/s in Cordoba and 2700 m3/s in Seville. This was below that recorded in Seville in the flood of 1963 when a volume of 6000 m3/s. was reached. During August 2010 when flooding occurred in Jaen, Cordoba and Seville three people died in Cordoba as a result. A reconstructed waterwheel is located at Cordoba on the Guadalquivir River. The Molino de la Albolafia waterwheel originally built by the Romans provided water for the nearby Alcazar gardens as well as being used to mill flour. The Alcazar was the castle and royal residence of Cordoba, inhabited by the caliphs in Islamic times, and later by the Spanish royalty. The Doñana disaster, also known as the Aznalcollar Disaster or Guadiamar Disaster was an industrial accident in Andalusia. In April 1998 a holding dam burst at the Los Frailes mine, near Aznalcóllar, Seville Province, releasing 4–5 million cubic metres of mine tailings. The Doñana National Park was also impacted by this event. Of the numerous bridges spanning the Guadalquivir, one of the oldest is the Roman Bridge in Cordoba. Significant bridges at Seville include the Puente del Alamillo (1992), Puente de Isabel II or Puente de Triana (1852), and Puente del V Centenario (1972). The El Tranco de Beas Dam at the head of the river was built between 1929 and 1944 as a hydroelectricity project of the Franco regime. Doña Aldonza Dam is located in the Guadalquivir riverbed, in the Andalusian municipalities of Ubeda, Peal de Becerro and Torreperogil in the province of Jaen. The Port of Seville is the primary port on the Guadalquivir River. The Port Authority of Seville is responsible for developing, managing, operating, and marketing the Port of Seville. The entrance to the Port of Seville is protected by a lock that regulates the water level, making the port free of tidal influences. The Port of Seville contains over 2.7 thousand meters of berths for public use and 1.1 thousand meters of private berths.

The ancient city of Tartessos was said to have been located at the mouth of the Guadalquivir, although its site has not yet been found.
The name comes from the Arabic al-wādi al-kabīr (الوادي الكبير), 'The Great River'. Classical Arabic Wadi is pronounced in present-day Maghreb as Oued. The Phoenicians named the river Baits, later Betis (or Baetis) from pre-Roman times to the Al-Andalus period, giving its name to the Hispania Baetica Roman province. An older Celtiberian name was Oba (gold river), leading to the assumption that etymologically Córdoba means city on the Oba (Cart-Oba), but it is actually derived from the Phoenician qorteb meaning "oil press".

The Guadalquivir river is the only great navigable river in Spain. Currently it is navigable to Seville, but in Roman times it was navigable to Córdoba.
The ancient city of Tartessos was said to have been located at the mouth of the Guadalquivir, although its site has not yet been found.
Le Guadalquivir est un fleuve espagnol qui se jette dans l'océan Atlantique à l'ouest du détroit de Gibraltar. Il doit son nom actuel à l'appellation arabe L'Oued-el-Kabir (واد الكبير), qui signifie la grande vallée (et souvent le grand fleuve en Arabe classique). Du temps de la civilisation de Tartessos, il était également appelé Tartessos. À l'époque romaine, il était connu sous le nom de Bætis, ou Betis.
Il Guadalquivir è un fiume del sud della Spagna, che attraversa l'Andalusia. Il nome deriva dall'arabo wadi al-Kabir ("fiume grande"), mentre i romani lo chiamavano fiume Baetis.
Il Guadalquivir nasce nel comune di Quesada, nel cuore della Sierra de Cazorla (Jaén) e sfocia a Sanlúcar de Barrameda, nella provincia di Cadice, attraversando le province di Cordoba e Siviglia. Il fiume è lungo 657 km e i suoi affluenti sono i fiumi Genil, Guadalbullón e Guadiana Menor.
È l'unico fiume con traffico fluviale della Spagna, al giorno d'oggi navigabile solo fino a Siviglia, mentre in epoca romana era possibile raggiungere Cordova.
Il Guadalquivir, a differenza di altri fiumi spagnoli, ha avuto parte nella storia spagnola: tra le sue rive si incontrarono due delle culture che determinarono il corso storico della penisola: la civiltà romana e quella araba.
A Siviglia è possibile prendere il battello per una crociera panoramica sul fiume.
Der Guadalquivir [gu̯aðalkiˈβiɾ] ist mit einer Länge von 657 km der fünftlängste Fluss Spaniens (nach Tajo, Ebro, Duero, und Guadiana) und der längste in Andalusien. Der Name stammt aus dem Arabischen al-wād al-kabir oder Wadi al-Kabir, الوادي الكبير, DMG al-Wādī l-kabīr ‚der große Fluss'. Der Fluss wurde von präromanischer Zeit bis in die al-Andalus-Zeit hinein Baetis (spätere Schreibweise Betis) genannt; daher war er namensgebend für die römische Provinz Hispania Baetica.
Er entspringt bei Cañada de las Fuentes in der Sierra de Cazorla (Provinz Jaén), läuft an Córdoba und Sevilla vorbei und mündet bei Sanlúcar de Barrameda in den Golf von Cádiz. Das Schwemmland am Unterlauf des Flusses wird "Las Marismas" genannt. Der Guadalquivir grenzt auch an das Naturschutzgebiet Coto de Doñana.
Der Guadalquivir ist der einzige schiffbare Fluss Spaniens. Derzeit ist er bis Sevilla auch für Hochseeschiffe schiffbar. Zu Zeiten der Römer war er bis Córdoba zu befahren.
Die antike Stadt Tartessos soll an der Flussmündung des Guadalquivir gelegen haben; ihr genauer Ort konnte bis heute noch nicht ermittelt werden.

瓜达尔基维尔河（西班牙语：Guadalquivir）是西班牙的第五长河（仅次于塔古斯河和埃布罗河），也是安达卢西亚自治区境内的第一长河。它的名字源于阿拉伯语阿尔-瓦德-阿尔-卡比尔（الوادي الكبير，音译al-Wadī al-Kabīr），意为"大河"。在阿拉伯人征服之前，这条河的名字是巴埃提斯河，罗马帝国在西班牙的行省巴埃提卡行省即以此河命名。

The Guadalquivir is the fifth longest river in the Iberian peninsula and the second longest river with its entire length in Spain. The Guadalquivir is 657 kilometers long and drains an area of about 58,000 square kilometers. It begins at Cañada de las Fuentes (village of Quesada) in the Cazorla mountain range (Jaén), passes through Córdoba and Seville and ends at the fishing village of Bonanza, in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, flowing into the Gulf of Cádiz, in the Atlantic Ocean. The marshy lowlands at the river's end are known as "Las Marismas". It borders Doñana National Park reserve. The Guadalquivir river is the only great navigable river in Spain. Currently it is navigable to Seville, but in Roman times it was navigable to Córdoba. The ancient city of Tartessos was said to have been located at the mouth of the Guadalquivir, although its site has not yet been found. The Phoenicians established the first anchorage grounds and dealt in precious metals. The Romans settled in Hispalis (Seville), in the 2nd century BC, making it into an important river port. By the 1st century BC Hipalis was a walled city with shipyards building longboats to carry wheat. In the 1st century AD the Hispalis was home to entire naval squadrons. Ships sailed to Rome with various products: minerals, salt, fish, etc. During Arab rule between 712 to 1248, the Moors left a stone dock and the Torre del Oro (Tower of Gold), to reinforce the port defences. In the 13th century, Ferdinand III expanded the shipyards and from Seville's busy port, grain, oil, wine, wool, leather, cheese, honey, wax, nuts and dried fruit, salted fish, metal, silk, linen and dye were exported throughout Europe. After the discovery of the Americas, Seville became the economic centre of the Spanish Empire as its port monopolised the trans-oceanic trade and the Casa de Contratación (House of Trade) wielded its power. As navigation of the Guadalquivir River became increasingly difficult Seville's trade monopoly was transferred to Cádiz.The construction of the artificial canal known as the Corta de Merlina in 1794 marked the beginning of the modernisation of the port of Seville. In late November 2010 the new Seville lock began to function as a regulator of the tides to finish five years of work (2005-2010). The Guadalquivir River Basin occupies an area of 63,085 km2 and has a long history of severe flooding. During the winter of 2010 heavy rainfall caused severe flooding in rural and agricultural areas in the provinces of Seville, Cordoba and Jaen in the Andalusia region. The accumulated rainfall in the month of February was above 250 liters per m2, double the precipitation for Spain for that month. In March 2010 several tributaries of the Guadalquivir flooded, causing over 1,500 people to flee their homes as a result of increased flow of the Guadalquivir River, which on 6 March 2010 reached a volume of 2000 m3/s in Cordoba and 2700 m3/s in Seville. This was below that recorded in Seville in the flood of 1963 when a volume of 6000 m3/s. was reached. During August 2010 when flooding occurred in Jaen, Cordoba and Seville three people died in Cordoba as a result. A reconstructed waterwheel is located at Cordoba on the Guadalquivir River. The Molino de la Albolafia waterwheel originally built by the Romans provided water for the nearby Alcazar gardens as well as being used to mill flour. The Alcazar was the castle and royal residence of Cordoba, inhabited by the caliphs in Islamic times, and later by the Spanish royalty. The Doñana disaster, also known as the Aznalcollar Disaster or Guadiamar Disaster was an industrial accident in Andalusia. In April 1998 a holding dam burst at the Los Frailes mine, near Aznalcóllar, Seville Province, releasing 4–5 million cubic metres of mine tailings. The Doñana National Park was also impacted by this event. Of the numerous bridges spanning the Guadalquivir, one of the oldest is the Roman Bridge in Cordoba. Significant bridges at Seville include the Puente del Alamillo (1992), Puente de Isabel II or Puente de Triana (1852), and Puente del V Centenario (1972). The El Tranco de Beas Dam at the head of the river was built between 1929 and 1944 as a hydroelectricity project of the Franco regime. Doña Aldonza Dam is located in the Guadalquivir riverbed, in the Andalusian municipalities of Ubeda, Peal de Becerro and Torreperogil in the province of Jaen. The Port of Seville is the primary port on the Guadalquivir River. The Port Authority of Seville is responsible for developing, managing, operating, and marketing the Port of Seville. The entrance to the Port of Seville is protected by a lock that regulates the water level, making the port free of tidal influences. The Port of Seville contains over 2.7 thousand meters of berths for public use and 1.1 thousand meters of private berths.

The 3 Pearls Of Andalusia Vacation Travel Video Guide
Along the Rio Guadalquivir is Córdoba. Today the former caliph’s residence of the Omaiyad is a lively city with an historic past. In 152 B.C. the town was founded during the rule of Claudius Marcellu and it was then that the Roman conquerors named it Corduba. Later the town became the capital of the province of Baetica, the hot southern region of Spain. At the beginning of the 8th century the town was the headquarters of its recent conquerors, Arabian governors and emirs and even today the architectural influence of the Moors is visible.

Globe Trekker- Southern Spain featuring Christina Chang
Christina Chang travels to Southern Spain. Although these days its commonly associated with golf, fast food, concrete and spoiled beaches, it is one of the most beautiful and diverse regions in all of Europe. Christina heads inland to the ancient town of Ronda, situated on a rocky outcrop in the Serranía de Ronda mountains.

The old city of Granada extends across three hills, Sacromonte, the world famous Alhambra and Abaicín, a once densely populated Moorish district with almost thirty mosques. For several centuries around sixy thousand Moors brought the city’s maze of alleys to life but only a few of the historic Islamic buildings and mosques have survived. Seville is today’s pulsating capital of Andalucia and is still strongly influenced by the brilliant architectural achievements of the Moors. In former times the Real Alcázar was the residence of the region’s Arabic rulers but most of its buildings were constructed during the reign of Peter The Cruel. Casa De Pilatos is one of the most beautiful palatial buildings in Seville. The residence of the Dukes of Medinacelli was built between 1492 and 1520 following a pilgrimage by one of the dukes to the Holy Land. On his return journey, following the same route that the first Marqués of Tarifa took through Italy, he brought back several valuable columns and fountains made of carrara marble that today adorn the beautiful exterior and gardens of the residence. The shoreline of the Guadalquivir River in the land of flamenco is full of life and joie de vivre. The true heart of Spain surely lies in Andalusia in the hot southern region of the Iberian Peninsula.

Along the Rio Guadalquivir is Cordoba. Today, the former caliph's residence of the Omayyad is a lively city with an historic past. In 152 B.C., the town was founded during the rule of Marcus Claudius Marcellu and it was then that the Roman conquerors named it Cordoba. Later, the town became the capital of the province of Hispania Baetica , the hot southern region of Spain. At the beginning of the 8th century, the town was the headquarters of its recent conquerors, Arabian governors and emirs and even today, the architectural influence of the Moors is visible.
In the 10th century A.D., the town reached the zenith of its prosperity. It is believed that almost a million people once lived in the 'Mecca of the West'. The Great Mosque, today's La Mezquita, was extended and enlarged during that time. Marble, jaspis and granite columns decorate the beautiful interior of the mosque that contains 800 columns.
The old city of Granada, Sacromonte, extends across three hills. The world famous Alhambra and Albaicin are located in the once densely populated Moorish district with almost 30 mosques. For several centuries, around 60,000 Moors brought the city's maze of alleys to life but only a few of the historic Islamic buildings and mosques have survived.
Seville is today's pulsating capital of Andalucia and is still strongly influenced by the brilliant architectural achievements of the Moors. In former times, the Real Alcazar was the residence of the region's Arabic rulers but most of its buildings were constructed during the reign of Peter the Cruel.
La Casa De Pilatos is one of the most beautiful palatial buildings in Seville.

Aún quedan espacios privilegiados donde la naturaleza sigue su curso, cambia, evoluciona por sí misma. Lugares como el Parque Nacional de Doñana, en el sur de España, donde cientos de seres vivos gobernados por las leyes de la vida salvaje y al ritmo macado por la sucesión de las estaciones, componen un lugar perfecto.
El río Guadalquivir, en su desembocadura en el océano Atlántico, en el suroeste de Andalucía, ha creado un conjunto de ecosistemas que forman parte del Patrimonio de la Humanidad, el Parque nacional de Doñana.
Desgraciadamente, entornos idóneos como el de Doñana están desapareciendo de nuestra geografía.
Con la disminución de los bosques, las poblaciones de lince han ido quedando aisladas, lo que ha provocado la endogamia de las comunidades, con la consiguiente debilidad de la especie.
A eso hay que añadir que las sucesivas epidemias de mixomatosis y enfermedad hemorrágico vírica han diezmado la población de los conejos, que componen el 90 % de la dieta del lince
La suma de estas dos circunstancias ha convertido al lince ibérico en el felino más amenazado del planeta. En los últimos 25 años su población ha descendido espectacularmente; y el peligro de desaparición durante los años 90 del siglo XX, era un presagio que se acercaba inexorablemente.
Además, ante la escasez de comida, se acercó peligrosamente a zonas habitadas, donde entró en contacto con gatos salvajes que le contagiaron enfermedades para las que no tenía defensa. Tuvo frecuentes encuentros con perros, y por si fuera poco, encontró a su peor enemigo, el hombre.
El reducido número de ejemplares de lince ibérico y la escasa y distante distribución de los mismos, llevó a la comisión para la Conservación de la Naturaleza a aprobar en febrero de 2001 un programa de conservación de la especie ex situ, es decir, fuera de su lugar natural. El lugar elegido para desarrollar el proyecto fue centro el acebuche, situado en el Parque Nacional de Doñana, y la persona encargada de dirigirlo fue la doctora Astrid Vargas.
El objetivo primordial es llegar a tener una población de sesenta linces en cautividad; y a partir de ese momento, comenzar a reintroducirlos en lugares en los que alguna vez hubo linces en libertad
Las técnicas empleadas en el centro del acebuche han permitido notables avances en el conocimiento de los animales; y además hay que tener en cuenta que jamás hasta ahora se había podido estudiar al lince ibérico durante veinticuatro horas al día.
Gracias a ello se ha acumulado una ingente cantidad de datos que han permitido grandes avances en el conocimiento de la fisiología, la territorialidad, el comportamiento y las conductas sexuales de estos felinos
El trabajo se divide en la observación de los animales, la recogida constante de datos y su posterior análisis.
Y al tratarse de un campo de experimentación completamente nuevo, el intercambio de información con expertos en otros felinos de tamaño medio como los linces boreales o los bobcats puede ayudar a resolver algunos contratiempos.
El parque Nacional es uno de los mejores rincones de Europa para la observación de la vida silvestre en su entorno natural; y su importancia obliga protegerlo mediante una legislación que garantice su conservación.
El centro el Acebuche de cría ex – situ, la Consejería de medio ambiente de la comunidad autónoma de Andalucía y el ministerio de Medio ambiente están aunando esfuerzos para que el lince ibérico no desaparezca.
El Seprona, la comunidad científica internacional y numerosos grupos ecologistas velan permanentemente por el éxito del proyecto.
El futuro parece sonreír al lince ibérico. La encomiable labor del programa de cría en cautividad, la rehabilitación de zonas boscosas óptimas para que los felinos vivan en libertad y la concienciación de la sociedad, harán realidad el sueño.
Llegados a este punto, las esperanzas del lince están puestas en sus ancestrales enemigos: nosotros, los seres humanos.

There are still privileged places where nature continues on its way, changes and evolves as it always has. Places such as the Doñana National Park, in southern Spain, where hundreds of species live governed only by the laws of nature and the pace of the changing seasons.
The river Guadalquivir, at the point at which it pours into the Atlantic ocean, in south-west Andalusia, has created a series of ecosystems that have together been declared a World Heritage Site.
Unfortunately, ideal habitats like those of Doñana are fast disappearing from the map.
With the reduction of the forests, the lynx populations have become isolated, which has led to endogamy, with the resulting weakening of the species.
To this must be added the fact that successive epidemics of myxomatosis and viral haemorragie disease have decimated the rabbit population, which makes up 90% of the lynx’s diet.
Together, these circumstances have turned the Iberian lynx into the most threatened feline on the planet. In the past 25 years, its population has fallen spectacularly, and during the 1990s the threat of extinction seemed closer than ever.
In addition, given the lack of food, it came dangerously close to inhabited areas, where it came into contact with wild cats from which it caught diseases against which it had no defence. There were frequent encounters with dogs and, as if that wasn't enough, it brushed up against its worst enemy, human.
The low numbers of Iberian lynxes and the scarce and distant distribution of these, led the Nature Conservation Commission to approve, in February 2001, a programme for the conservation of the species ex situ, that is, away from its natural habitat. The place chosen to carry out this project was the El Acebuche centre, in Doñana National Park, and the person in charge of directing it was Dr. Astrid Vargas.
The primordial objective is to achieve a population of seventy lynxes in captivity, and then begin to reintroduce them in places where in the past there were lynxes in the wild.
The techniques used at the El Acebuche centre have made it possible to make considerable progress in our knowledge of these animals; and, moreover, we must take into account the fact that never before had it been possible to study the Iberian lynx twenty-four hours a day.
Thanks to this, they have accumulated a huge amount of data that have permitted great advances in knowledge of the physiology, territoriality, habits and sexual behaviour of these felines.
The work is divided into observation of the animals, the constant gathering of data and their subsequent analysis.
And, as it is a completely new area of experimentation, the exchange of information with experts in other medium-sized felines such as Eurasian lynxes or bobcats can help to overcome certain difficulties.
The National Park is one of the best places in Europe to observe wildlife in its natural environment; its importance is such that it must be protected by legislation to guarantee its conservation.
The El Acebuche ex-situ breeding centre, the Department of the Environment of the autonomous community of Andalusia and the Ministry of the Environment are combining efforts to ensure the Iberian lynx does not disappear.
SEPRONA, the international scientific community and numerous ecological groups are permanently monitoring the success of the project.
It looks as if the future will smile on the Iberian lynx. The admirable work of the breeding in captivity programme, the restoration of optimum forest areas for the felines to live in the wild and increasing public awareness will help make the dream a reality.
Having reached this point, the hopes of the lynx lie with their ancestral enemies: us, human beings.

The primordial objective is to achieve a population of seventy lynxes in captivity, and then begin to reintroduce them in places where in the past there were lynxes in the wild.
The techniques used at the El Acebuche centre have made it possible to make considerable progress in our knowledge of these animals; and, moreover, we must take into account the fact that never before had it been possible to study the Iberian lynx twenty-four hours a day.
Thanks to this, they have accumulated a huge amount of data that have permitted great advances in knowledge of the physiology, territoriality, habits and sexual behaviour of these felines.
The work is divided into observation of the animals, the constant gathering of data and their subsequent analysis.
And, as it is a completely new area of experimentation, the exchange of information with experts in other medium-sized felines such as Eurasian lynxes or bobcats can help to overcome certain difficulties.
The National Park is one of the best places in Europe to observe wildlife in its natural environment; its importance is such that it must be protected by legislation to guarantee its conservation.
The El Acebuche ex-situ breeding centre, the Department of the Environment of the autonomous community of Andalusia and the Ministry of the Environment are combining efforts to ensure the Iberian lynx does not disappear.
SEPRONA, the international scientific community and numerous ecological groups are permanently monitoring the success of the project.
It looks as if the future will smile on the Iberian lynx. The admirable work of the breeding in captivity programme, the restoration of optimum forest areas for the felines to live in the wild and increasing public awareness will help make the dream a reality.
Having reached this point, the hopes of the lynx lie with their ancestral enemies: us, human beings.

Christina Chang travels to Southern Spain. Although these days its commonly associated with golf, fast food, concrete and spoiled beaches, it is one of the most beautiful and diverse regions in all of Europe.
Christina heads inland to the ancient town of Ronda, situated on a rocky outcrop in the Serranía de Ronda mountains. She learns about the gruesome history of the town, when in 1936 the entire country was split between the Communists and the Fascists. Villagers fought ferociously against each other and in the first month of the war 512 people were murdered in Ronda. She also comes across a traveling exhibition of witch paraphernalia. During the Spanish Inquisition in the 15th century, 85 percent of the women accused of witchcraft were condemned and subjected to the most horrible tortures.
Christina rents a car and drives down the coast to Tarifa, the windiest place in Spain. She takes a few windsurfing lessons and then continues her journey to the small village of La Rabida, where Christopher Columbus embarked upon his voyages of discovery. At the local museum there are life-size replicas of Columbus fleet.
Next, Christina takes a boat trip up the Guadalquivir river to one of Southern Spain's most historic cities, Seville. Her voyage takes her through the Donana National Park. The marshy delta is home to hundreds of different species of birds and during the summer months its a favorite nesting ground for flamingos. Christina finally arrives in Seville, the capital of Andalucía, in time for Easter week, one of Spain's oldest and holiest festivals. The tradition dates back to the 17th century, and all the members of all the churches in the city process to the cathedral to ask forgiveness for their sins in the past year.
From Seville Christina travels by train to the province of Jaén where she goes horse trekking in the Cazorla National Park. Its a stunning mountainous region which is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Christina and her guide stop off at a jamón factory where they sample cured serrano ham, then continue their trek to the summit of El Yelmo. Christina plucks up her courage and para glides off the top of the mountain, takes in the astounding views of the Sierras de Cazorla.
Christina travels to the famous town of Granada, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. The city was the seat of power of the Moorish people who occupied Southern Spain for over 700 years from the 8th century. She visits the famous Alhambra, a fine example of Moorish architecture which was originally built as a fortress in the 11th century. Later, she goes to a Flamenco School to learn a little about the traditional dance form in preparation for Cristo de los Gitanos, a Gipsy festival the Sacramonte district of Granada. Fires are lit all around the winding streets, and the gypsy people burn bushes of rosemary gathered from the surrounding hills, filling the air with scented smoke.
The Sierra Nevada mountain range is home to Europe's most southerly ski resort. Christina rents some gear and heads for the slopes to learn how to snowboard but, as she discovers, its not as easy as it looks.
Christina hitches a lift to Tabernas, in the province of Almería. Just outside town she visits Mini Hollywood, where countless spaghetti westerns were filmed. This area has more than a striking resemblance to the Arizona badlands, and many of the film sets have remained here ever since.
From Tabernas, Christina travels to Cabo de Gata National Park, a dramatic desert-like landscape of arid valleys and mountains with the Mediterranean lapping at its edges. She takes a boat to San Pedro beach, one of the few unspoiled stretches of coastline remaining in Southern Spain.
Christina ends her journey in Alcoy, in the region of Valencia. Shes lucky enough to witness a festival commemorating a famous battle between the Christian ruler and the Moorish captain Al Athrak which took place in the city in 1276. As the story goes, the Christians were on the point of losing the city to the Moors, when St. George appeared on a white charger and turned their luck around. Its a fascinating three day event, and a perfect end to Christina's active and cultural journey in Southern Spain.
