The story of an Iberian lynx killing feral cats in a small Spanish village has sparked outrage online. However, from my perspective at Wildside Holidays Spain, this reaction misses the point entirely. The return of the Iberian lynx is not a problem—it is a powerful sign that wild Spain is recovering.
In this article, I share my personal view on what is really happening and why we need to rethink our relationship with both wildlife and domestic animals.
I’ve been living in this lovely area of Western Andalucia for the last 20 years or so and dedicate most of my time to the running of English language tourist information websites for the towns of Cádiz, Ronda, Grazalema, the famous or infamous Caminito del Rey, and also Wildside Holidays, which promotes sustainable and eco-friendly businesses running wildlife and walking holidays in Spain.
