Castilian landscape

The Castilian landscape, characteristic of central Spain, features expansive, flat plains with gentle rolling hills. It’s dominated by Mediterranean vegetation, including sparse forests and cultivated fields, often used for grain and olive production. The region's climate is continental, with hot summers and cold winters, influencing its open, arid appearance. This scenery reflects a historic agricultural heartland with a sense of openness and simplicity, shaped by centuries of human activity and natural conditions, creating a distinctive, rugged yet cultivated environment central to Spain's cultural identity.
