Hunting is a significant regulated subsistence and recreational activity in Spain with a long-recorded history. The country is widely considered one of the most relevant hunting destinations in the world, backed by the variety of its species, climates, terrains as well as sheer size and low density of population.[1] With almost 1 million licenses in 2017, it is the second country with most hunters in Europe.[2] Internationally, it is also the second country that imports most big-game hunting trophies from overseas after the United States.[3]
Spain offers a variety of different big-game species, most commonly the Spanish red deer, fallow, roe, Iberian ibex and its four subspecies, mouflon, arrui, Pyrenean and Cantabrian chamois and boc. Cantabrian brown bears and Iberian lynxes have been protected since the 1970s after almost becoming extinct, and more recently the Socialist government of Pedro Sánchez oversaw the protection of the Iberian wolf, whose hunting north of the Douro river was legal until 2021.[4] Some of the most popular small-game species include the red-legged partridge, hare, rabbit, woodcock, pheasant and the red fox. The iconic Cantabrian grouse was protected in the second half of the 20th century.
Almost 85% of Spain is officially declared as 'hunting grounds', and in 2020 there were 32,187 hunting grounds (both public and private) in which 17 million animals were harvested. The total spending in hunting in Spain was €5.5 billion in 2016, equivalent to €6.5 billion when calculated as gross domestic product (0.3% of the total Spanish GDP for that year) with a tax revenue generation of €614 million and supporting almost 200,000 full-time equivalent jobs.[5]
