Also, Spain is well serviced by practically all the major international nautical manufacturers, making original spare parts and accessories easy to find. Hunting A real hunting paradise due to the variety of climates and different ecosystems, Spain controls hunting through laws that aim to protect wild fauna while permitting the hunting of certain species in determined geographic areas and seasons, providing of course that the hunter has the corresponding hunting licence and weapon permit. They publish, usually in August, a calender of the hunting seasons that indicates the zones and time periods hunting is permitted for specific species in their respective territories. Hunting season begins in mid-October. The most common large game are deer, chamois, boars, mouflons and Hispanic goats.
Small game includes partridge, quail and duck.
Weapon licences can be obtained at any police station. Marina fishing , in which Spain has become a world leader, can be enjoyed on the three coasts, the Mediterranean, Cantabrian and Atlantic, with the Atlantic coast offering quite different characteristics in Galicia than in Andalucia. There is a great variety of fish, from modest species of mullets to large tuna and even sharks around the Canary Islands. River fishing is the most common type in Spain with its approximately 75,000 kilometres of rivers. There is also a great variety of fish, from salmon and trout, the latter of which is very abundant and includes many diverse sub-species, to pike also very abundant.
