Tourism

In Spain, tourism is highly sensitive to the climate, making it particularly vulnerable to climate change. The weather exerts a major influence in terms of the most attractive regions, seasonality, tourism infrastructures and their operations and the conditions affecting tourists’ wellbeing and their enjoyment.

ADAPTaRES Project: Adaptation to climate change in Macaronesia through the efficient use of water and its reuse

The islands of Macaronesia are not spared from the effects of climate change, being very vulnerable to their consequences given their particular geographical situation, insularity, remoteness from the continent, fragmentation, external dependency, scarcity of natural resources, demographic density, dependence on the tourism sector and great biodiversity.

Environmental restoration of the Maspalomas dune system (MASDUNAS Project)

The Masdunas project is a pilot initiative born with the aim of finding the appropriate solutions to halt, as much as possible, the environmental degradation that has occurred over the past 50 years in the Maspalomas Dunes, largely due to the unsustainable use of its resources. The aim is to prevent the potential disappearance of the mobile dune field in the coming years, thus preserving its environmental value and its significance as a tourist attraction.

Reconversion of former irrigated land into pastures in the area of Las Tablas de Daimiel National Park

The Tablas de Daimiel is a virtually unique wetland in Europe and the last representative of the ecosystem known as 'river tables,' once characteristic of the central plain of our Peninsula. It is a complex ecosystem that combines the characteristics of a floodplain, created by the overflows of the Guadiana and Gigüela rivers at their confluence, with an area of groundwater discharge from a large aquifer, resulting in the formation of a waterlogged river area: the river tables.

River Restoration of the Manzanares River in the surroundings of the Royal Site of El Pardo (Madrid)

The Manzanares River, as it passes through the historic Royal Site of El Pardo, has undergone various hydromorphological alterations over the years, which profoundly transformed both the riverbed and its banks. These transformations resulted in the significant loss of river space, habitat diversity, both longitudinal and transverse connectivity of the river, and public accessibility to its banks.
