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.
Clive Muir – Wildside Holidays – Walking, wildlife and culture holidays in Spain
I’ve been living in western Andalucía for more than 20 years and spend much of my time researching and running English-language travel websites about Spain. My work covers destinations including Cádiz, Ronda, Grazalema and the Caminito del Rey, as well as Wildside Holidays, which focuses on walking, wildlife and nature travel in Spain.
Through Wildside Holidays, I share practical information about Spain’s natural parks, mountains, wildlife and walking destinations, drawing on many years of living and travelling in the country. The aim is to help visitors discover Spain’s natural landscapes responsibly and plan rewarding walking and wildlife experiences.
