Hello Eneko,

actually I have seen lots of squirrels in Spain, I was born in Castellón (in Comunidad Valenciana) and near the place I lived there was a park called El Pinar, there I have always seen squirrels out of any cage, of course.

Right now I'm living in Brazil and I'm also impressed because of the amount of wild (and not so wild) animals you can see anywhere here too.

Saludetes,

Manuel

Yep, in Soria. In La Dehesa (a park inside the city) and also in Monte Valonsadero, just 20 minutes by car. Anyway, it's a surprise to see them.

In Guisando you can see wild free animals like red skirrels (more beautiful than those you show on the pic :P), deers, wild hogs, wild goats, and so on!! You better come and see...

Pues la verdad es que allí en cvalifornia abundan las ardillas. Cuando yo estuve fue una de las cosas que más me llamaron la atención, a veces las puedes ver correteando debajo de tus propios pies. En España como mucho las ves de lejos y con suerte (yo hace años que no veo ninguna). Lo que ahora se ven mucho en las zonas semideserticas del valle del Ebro son muchos conejos, a veces en grupos de hasta 10 individuos

In Madrid you can see squirrels, of course, at Zoo.
Ok, that's a joke.
They are squirrels in, for example, La Prediza, a granite mountain at 50 kilometres from Madrid, near Manzanares river (when Manzanares is a true river). It's necessary stay there early, and you can see them "subiendo a los árboles" (up to the trees???). They are too wild goat, you can see them any time and any place.

In my little country, in my village -NW of Zamora, Castilla y Leon, near Galicia and Portugal- you can see squirrels, wild boars, deers, and the most important population of wolfs at Spain.

Where I come from (Sierra de Madrid) it's actually possible to see some rabbits, MANY snakes, eagles and some shy deer. If you go to the city, then you'll just see fat sparrows and doves (and cockroaches in the summer) :-P

Here in Norway the range of animals one gets to see widens a HUGE LOT!! Up to now I've seen Arctic foxes, deer, reindeer, elks, whales and a lot of sea eagles... One gets to see animals living close to us, "human predators", and that's magical!!

Hi, Enekyn!

Squirrels camp at their widths in La Alhambra's Park, Granada (... have you ever heard about "gomaespuminglis", jejeje): camp at their widths -> campar a sus anchas :-P.

Hello Eneko! My first comment here, nice to meet you ;)
Unfortunately I haven't seen any free squirrel (I'm from Jerez de la Frontera and I live in Valencia)...But I was about a pair of meters from a fox when I was in El Torcal, in Antequera...:P

Try Dublin, you can even see Deers in phoenix park running arround.
