Magnificent nature documentary series that shows us the great variety of animal species that live in Spain. The Spanish version is from 2013 and can be seen in Spain and Latin America. The English version is from 2020 and can be seen in all English-speaking countries.

Wonderful documentary series. If you expect a blockbuster this is not the case. This is rather an educational series that shows the great diversity of fauna that exists in Spain, with a good narration and accompanied by good music. Recommended for schools.
