Natural Parks

A National Park or a Natural Reserve is a protected space in use for conservation purposes.

The main difference between a national park and a natural park is that the national is protected by the government of the country, having a biological value greater than the natural park, which is protected by the government of the autonomous community.

In Spain we have 15 National Parks, if you want to see some tourist information about them and the activities you can do there, visit the webpage spain.info.
