-Country open to the Me diterrane e

and the ocean in the Atlantic,

spain is the 5th economic power

of the European Union.

For many of Europe,

Spain is the land of the sun and vacation.

An image that would make you forget

that the Spaniards went through

an economic crisis, social and institutional

who has shaken the country and threatens its cohesion.

As Spain recovers,

let's take 24 hours, from sunrise to sunset,

to cover how the country ends again

its development models

and reorientates its priorities for the future.

Ae rienne music

...

As the sun rises on Europe,

the Iberian Peninsula is still plunge into darkness

at the far western end of the continent.

The night card re vele a human presence

also returned to the country.

In the center pulsates the dense halo of Madrid.

On the coast to tell me about it,

cities and canvases flagship industries

and coastal tourism still sparkle.

Valencia, Tarragona and finally Barcelona.

the first deckchairs line up on the beach.

Cradle of seaside tourism,

she is getting ready to receive

half a million people per day.

Sun rays

will touch soon the 3,000 mirrors of Gemasolar.

A solar power plant unique in the world.

make their last inspection before laughing the genders.

It is 7 a.m.

and the sun rises in Spain.

900 km north-east, in the heart of Navarre,

San Fermin, the Pamplona Fair

started 2 days ago.

It's the biggest human gathering

after the Rio Carnival and the Munich Oktoberfest.

Behind the palisades or lean to the balconies,

spectators are watching the riders before the Encierro.

4 large families raise these animals

for ages.

Every year, at the Pamplona fair,

we bring the strongest there and the largest of the flock.

-Here, we receive the bulls

who arrive of their place of lifting.

They are noble bulls,

you just have to take it easy with them.

They can get angry,

they are wild animals.

We've been preparing them for a year

for them to arrive with good physical condition

and that they respond present during the game.

-The time has come for runners

to position oneself on the share line.

This tradition allows to the bulls to join the arena

while traveling through the streets of the old town

over a length of 900 meters.

Traditional music

...

-It's been 45 years that I run here in Pamplona.

The most important in a la‚cher of bulls,

is to know what you do and then go there.

Crowd screams

...

It's a risk,

but in the risk, there is satisfaction.

Satisfaction to be with a wild animal,

to be in front of him, to know that the danger exists

because the bull can kill you.

They say, "You are crazy." I do not know.

It's more the passion that I have for the bull.

Applause

-Navarre is one of the 17 autonomous communities

than Spain.

A territorial coupage historical

was put back in place in 1978, after 40 years of dictatorship

and centralism.

AVE train 357 continues his journey to Madrid.

The network travels at high speed

crosses this regional diversity ensuring communications

between the main centers of the territory.

Seen from the sky,

these kilometers of rails winding through the landscape

recall that Spain created its rail infrastructure

in the 2nd country the most mountainous in Europe.

To reinforce the central power of Madrid,

the first ones democratic governments

have started construction

of a rail network at high speed over 3,000 km.

This radial trace today covers the main axes of the territory,

making spain the 2nd country in the world

high speed,

behind China, but largely ahead of France.

It is 7:30 a.m.

and the traffic is very dense on the M-30 motorway

towards Madrid.

In Madrid, it's time or the morning pulse

A flagship of Spanish industry,

wash, the network travels at high speed,

has drawn in 20 years a circle of secondary towns

now accessible in less than an hour

from the capital.

In this morning goal, more than 150 trains

circulate and converge towards the center

in the 2 largest stations in the country:

those of Atocha and Chamartin.

Atocha station is the most frequent in Spain.

It welcomes every year nearly 100 million travelers.

Travelers who will borrow Madrid public transport.

Me tros, buses, trams, roads.

To ensure the smooth running

and morning fluidity,

CITRAM, the innovation center and transport management,

watch over the organization transports

of the community of Madrid,

i.e. 179 municipalities interconnect.

-To Madrid, we perform on average

13 million trips per day.

We have about 20,000 cam ras

who watch all modes of transport.

We can control

6,000 panels passenger information,

both in the street and inside the e changers.

-Manage such quantity real-time information

is a genuine technological prowess.

Madrid inte res the me tropoles europe

as well as train stations of Atocha and Chamartin.

Main pieces Madrid public transport,

The traffic is very dense at Madrid airport.

50 flights connect each day

the capital has its Catalan neighbor: Barcelona.

This bridge has nothing adds to rail links,

allows 15,000 people to travel daily

between the two main ones cities of the country.

The rivalry between Madrid and Barcelona is the son-in-law

and has more than 5 centuries of history.

Still,

the 2 spanish economic stoves are neck and neck.

Madrid produces 20% of the country's wealth,

19% for Barcelona.

This economic dynamism can be read

in the Barcelona skyline,

where the seats large companies

and ages of the Net adjoin luxury hotels.

Barcelona, by its geographical position,

is a city turned to the world.

One of the great assets from Barcelona

is its commercial port,

3rd in Spain behind Valence and Alge siras.

In 2017,

Spanish exports reached 277 billion euros.

They have progressed faster than its European neighbors

like Italy, Germany or France.

Repre feeling to herself a quarter of exports,

Catalonia is the region the most exporting in the country.

The port has also become

the point of departure and arrival e of cruises in Me diterrane e.

It is the first port cruise from Europe.

Thanks to the improvements exceptional implemented,

more than 1,500 ships come to moor every year

in the heart of the Catalan city.

Gone of Genes the day before,

the Costa Diadema Closes his turn in Me diterrane e

after 13 days at sea.

306 meters long,

150,000 tonnes, 5,000 passengers

and a crew of 1,200 people.

He is in the image of these new ages of the seas

which relate to a sector booming.

In less than 10 years, the volume of cruises

a increased by more than 30%.

Today the ships are tracked by satellite

Round the clock.

-Don Pedro, we have the Costa Diadema in between.

-Modern infrastructure

and the precise work port teams

allow every morning to dock

5 cruise ships at the foot of the Ramblas.

Barcelona,

flagship town of Me diterrane e since Antiquity,

knows how to enhance its heritage cultural and historical.

Each year, 7 million tourists from all over the world

to cover the beauty of its monuments and its parks.

The architect Antoni Gaudi

a sustainable brand the city of Barcelona.

La Sagrada Familia,

still under construction since 1882,

is one of the monuments most visited in Spain.

Its emblematic buildings Catalan modernism

came to break rigor ge ome trique

of a plan created 50 years earlier.

First industrial city at the end of the 19th century,

Barcelona has known upheavals

to extend its territory and its economic activity

beyond its ramparts die vaux me.

Seen from the sky, we take the measure rationality

of the urban plan by Ildefonso Cerda,

draws in 1856.

This engineer thinks the city as the connection point

between land routes and maritime

and draw a grid

crosses by major roads which converge towards the port.

Manel Guardia i Bassols

is an architectural historian.

They explain

the reasons of this transformation.

-In the middle of the 19th century,

Barcelona city has undergone changes

and a new city project which are linked

a few phe nomenes fundamentals:

industrialization

and technological changes in the transports.

Like the new navigation steamed

and the railroad.

This is an important point, because it's time

construction from the Suez Canal.

There is no need to renew the whole port system.

But above all, the fundamental problem

is that Barcelona, at that time,

is enclosed within its walls.

The de molition of the ramparts requires effort,

just like the project extension of the city.

-At the end of the Franco dictatorship,

Barcelona swimming part of its coastline

to develop the industry.

The serious economic crisis 1970s

will curb this e lan.

Towards the end of the 80s,

the city is attacking its last great urban revolution:

to welcome the 1992 Olympics.

The big names architecture

are chosen to create the Olympic port district

and swim the coastal avenue which runs along the sea.

At the foot of the Mapfre tower and the Arts hotel

launches the Golden Fish by Frank Gehry

which will become the emblem of the Olympic Games.

-This transformation

takes place in parallel of tourism growth

in Barcelona.

What is in fact a great success

will end up being

something that borders and who will create

social tensions in many neighborhoods.

-With a housing request greater than the offer,

the people of Barcelona are struggling to find accommodation.

In 10 years, rents have increased by 20%.

In this difficult social context,

Barcelona city hall want to act,

making the right to access housing its priority.

In the center,

in the Born district,

Eira lives at 49 rue Princesa,

a housing cooperative which offers Barcelona

fashionable rents apartments.

-It's very symbolic that this place

either the 1st building of cohabitation in Barcelona.

Tourism problems started in this neighborhood.

Gentrification.

The number of tourists is increasing and that causes

rising rents.

It pulls a lot of apartments of the market.

Lots of foreign investors have bought apartments.

They have superior means

to people here.

I belong to the age "militants".

In Barcelona, ​​with 1,000 euros, it's difficult to live alone.

I had access has a 65 m2 apartment

in the Born district, which is one of the neighborhoods

the most famous and the most expensive in Barcelona.

This apartment,

which has just been renovated,

could cost between 1,200 and 1,500 euros per month

and U.S, we will pay 600 euros.

If there were more initiatives like this one,

I think the people from here would feel less

to be kicked out of town. We would feel a political will

to change things. We have nothing against tourism,

but it is a city to live there,

not only to visit it for a few days.

-In Spain, a large part

of household heritage is set in stone.

At the end of the dictatorship,

in the recovery years, this real estate culture

is a powerful engine of the economy.

It's at the goal of the 2000s

that the land speculation reached its climax.

In 1998,

the government by Jose Maria Aznar

make the law of the soil vote

which facilitates obtaining building permit.

At the same time,

banks favor access to the said credit.

The building fever seizes the Spaniards,

all classes combined.

At this time,

construction engages 15% of the working population.

Housing complexes and infrastructure

grow like mushrooms throughout the country.

Between 2002 and 2007,

600,000 homes are built every year,

especially in the pe riphe ries big cities

and in coastal regions.

That's 3 times more housing

than France, Italy and Germany united.

This construction fre ne does not stop at homes.

The different cities set up museums,

of cites des arts, stadiums and airports.

But the global crisis go to unemployment

2 million Spaniards in 2009.

In 3 years, the unemployment rate will go from 17%

almost 25%.

The Spaniards are no longer arriving

to repay the credits.

The real estate market is collapsing.

This real-estate fever no control

draw a land map and empty housing.

It is estimated at 1.4 million unoccupied dwellings

overall of Spanish territory.

Las Alondras - Otura housing estate 50 homes for sale

Since 2010, Markel Redondo, crisscrosses Spanish territory

to film and photograph infrastructure

whose works remained unfinished

because of the crisis.

-When I walk in these ghost towns,

I still have the feeling to be the last man on Earth.

I have the feeling to experience an apocalypse,

to be the last survivor

Who is here to tell this story.

We are now in Otura, in Granada.

Behind me, we can see Las Alondras,

a residential area

made up of 50 houses

who are abandoned for 10 to 11 years.

In Spain, when there is unfinished constructions

because of bankruptcy a builder,

land and housing

go back to banks who have advanced the money.

The banks have no interest in completing

or start the work again, because it would be too expensive for them.

These residential areas

remain abandoned, because no one does not want to take care of them.

These houses are like sand castles

who one day or another will eventually disappear,

swallowed by nature.

When I started this project 10 years ago,

by photographing from the ground,

I couldn't encompass all constructions.

And then the time has passed,

new technologies and the drone arrived.

I wanted to photograph these places from the air,

to veil their magnitude and the space they take up,

to realize

of what we do with nature and our environment.

Here is the contrast that exists in Spain.

We have a lot houses built,

new, immediately habitable. And at the same time,

people need housing.

People who are e jected from their home.

And then we have all these empty houses,

without inhabitants.

A bit like an ologue ark, I collect traces

in order to keep them for generations to come.

These photos could be used historical archives

and help to understand what happened

not to reproduce the same errors.

-In Spain, as frozen in time,

the footprints of the crisis

still exist on the territory.

...

These infrastructures have designed you

to answer to the needs of the Spaniards,

but also to contribute

to the development of tourism,

a heavyweight sector of the country's economy.

One of the major assets from Spain,

it's its coastline bathes in sun 300 days a year.

Its costs are often named by the colors

that we see from the sky

reach out over more than 2,500 km.

Costa Verde, Costa Dorada,

Costa Blanca ...

North of Barcelona, the Costa Brava,

known for its villages by the sea like Cadaque s

and its white houses or a long time ago cu Salvador Dali.

More to the south, along the Costa Dorada,

a relief more cut sailing its creeks

with turquoise waters.

But it's on the Costa Blanca

than the triptych sun-playa-fiesta

has become a reality which allowed Spain

join the club

great nations of global tourism.

A sector that represents

11% of Spanish GDP.

Spain is today

the 2nd tourist destination to the world behind France.

From the end of the 50s,

Franco's dictatorship bet on tourism

to grow the country's economy.

At this time, Spain joins the OECD

and attracts foreign capital.

We authorize the construction on the coast

without any restriction.

In the province of Alicante, a city sums up history

seaside tourism in Spain,

this is Benidorm.

Samba music

...

Sky View,

Benidorm is an extraordinary city,

as if Rio de Janeiro and New York

had merged into Me diterrane e.

Become a symbol

mass tourism "made in Spain",

it is the city of Europe

who counts most tall buildings.

Benidorm is the city

the most touristic behind Barcelona and Madrid.

The mildness of its climate charming European retreats,

mainly English and German.

On the Haven, fishing boats

no longer jostle each other.

Only a few families still live from the sea.

The others live from tourism.

-Hello how are you ?

-Good and you ?

-Is there a lot to do?

-Yes a bit.

-Jose mi and his 2 uncles

are among the last fishermen from Benidorm.

-Currently, at the port of Benidorm,

There is only 2 small fishing boats.

We sell to restaurants, at the stores...

Tourists go to restaurant

and consume in stores

which are replenished At the fish store.

It is a chain.

See my uncles in this boat,

it reminds me

that it is a family tradition. Sometimes they help me.

I am proud to be able to offer them that.

Without me they couldn't benefit.

-It has changed a lot.

-In 1963, it was from Ja Benidorm as we know it.

-It was starting to grow. -It was starting to grow.

We saw from before that it was going to be a big city.

I remember the pesetas we were given

to take people go diving on the island.

We were children and we took them to the oar.

The more Benidorm grew,

the less people went to sea.

We earned more as a waiter than going to the sea.

-Or as a painter in a building or like mac§on.

-In the 1940s,

Alicante province was little known

and Benidorm was not than a small fishing village.

In 1955,

the mayor of the time, Pedro Zaragoza,

made build the first inexpensive hotels

to welcome local tourism.

He is the first mayor of Spain to authorize the wearing of a bikini,

so very fashionable in neighboring countries.

A genuine sartorial revolution

which will be an immediate success.

From 1963,

to welcome a tourist popular and massive,

new regulations

allows to build without height limits

in order to optimize building land

by the seaside and increase the hotel offer.

-In relation to the bikini, there is a nice anecdote.

At the time,

the cures did not allow that the girls are in bikinis.

So Don Pedro Zaragoza went to see the bishop

and said to him: "You, you are the church and I the city. "

-The Bishop and Don Pedro Zaragoza were very close.

One day the bishop calls Don Pedro and said to him:

"Pedro, I learned that women bathe

with 2-piece swimsuits. "

And he answered her: "There is no problem,

"tell me which room you want them to remove. "

He's laughing.

-In the 90s, in full revival of its economy,

Spain will know a new form of urbanization

linked to tourism on the cost me diterrane enne.

It is 11:30 am. We are going to analyze this phe nomene

with Adrian Ferrandis,

geographer and teacher at the University of Valencia.

-We are in the canton from La Marina,

a touristic site Very important.

Here is De nia.

De nia is a reference, because it is a model

residential tourism.

Residential tourism

is one of the activities the most important

related to transformation of the territory.

At the economic level,

there is a development Very important

of the construction stove which, short term,

has profitability and creates workstations.

But once built, after 30-50 years,

these houses need to be renovated.

It's hard to recreate employment and the economy.

-The transformation of the coastline

is linked secondary residences

built in the 90s.

English, German and French take advantage of low prices

to invest and prepare their pensions

away from home.

This population is not numerous,

but the construction of these houses

occupied half of the year

to beget a large consumption of space.

Faced with these excesses, Alicante province

offers to cover to tourists

inside its lands.

Tourism that is being reinvented and become more responsible.

-We are only 20 km away at the cost of De nia.

This proximity is fundamental and allows to have

2 additional activities. The Valley of Gallinera

is a small region:

a town and a valley made up of 7 hamlets.

This space brings together a natural environment

and a very rural environment where pre dominates agricultural activity.

In opposition modeled on seaside tourism,

here we have rural lodges short

where quality is preferred.

This allows to improve resources

and create development

for these rural areas, sometimes left to the abandonment

by politicians of development.

It will be advisable to bet on the interior of the land,

in rural areas,

by managing and minimizing environmental impact.

-Spanish territory is marked by the opposition

between densely populated areas

and nature areas totally preserved.

130 km away north-east of Benidorm,

in the Bale ares archipelago,

the island of Ibiza welcomes every year

nearly 2 million tourists that make it a dance floor.

However, not far from discotheques

hides a unique natural landscape.

Ses Salines park

has been for 25 years a protected area.

A territory that stretches

ancient Ibiza salt marshes,

to the neighboring island, Formentera.

The park is home to a natural reserve

mainly marine

and nesting areas for migratory birds.

Spain counts 132 natural parks.

The birth of the first parks date from 1918,

with the creation of the national park

of Mount Covadonga,

which will become the park from Picos de Europa.

From the 80s,

48 biosphere reserves recognized by UNESCO

become zones conservation

biodiversity.

Spain is a mountainous country

and its summits have contributed to make it a country

of walkers and hikers.

These wild landscapes

are the engine new ambitions

Spanish tourism

and have enabled green tourism and adventure

to assert its dynamism in all the countries.

On the Atlantic coast,

about thirty kilometers away of the sea,

the natural park by Los Picos de Europa

stretches from east to west, from Cantabria to Asturias.

Kingdom of eagles and chamois, He understands

the biggest limestone formation

from Atlantic Europe.

Located in the Spanish Pyrenees,

Ordesa National Park and Monte Perdido

is a paradise for lovers of mountaineering.

He's regouping a succession of summits

over 3,000 m which parsement

the border ridge between Spain and France.

More to the south,

the natural park of the Sierra de Guara

has countless gorges

class among the most beautiful in the world.

High place of practice canyoning and climbing,

the site attracts always more visitors

hungry for thrills.

Yann, canyoning guide Franco-Spanish, is adept

sustainable tourism,

today sharing by local actors

wishing to preserve this exceptional nature.

-At the end of the 70s,

the Spaniards cover a new way to have fun

during their vacation ...

other than the beach,

other than the nap,

so as not to return in the ste re otypes.

They have cover green tourism,

adventure tourism.

Here there was several possibilities:

climbing, hiking, canyoning ...

It was a region in the process of setting.

Adventure tourism created the need

to accommodate tourists.

The beauty of the landscapes,

the fact that it is a natural park,

that we can observe nature in its primitive state,

made that we respect the villages.

They were able to keep their original appearance,

because we couldn't build more.

All of this has maintained the wild character

from that part of Spain.

The development of this tourism these last years

led us to make choices,

taking into account economic interests

regional players

as well as nature of which our activity hangs.

We must preserve it

if we want enjoy it in the future.

At our level,

we try to teach ecological behavior.

We do not use plastic bottles,

we do not use sunscreen

before coming in in clean water e.

We observe the animals without touching them.

The idea, for groups,

is that they live the maximum of things

to want to come back.

- Across the country,

other forms of tourism attract visitors.

Spain is a history book

open air.

Cultural tourism

offers his travels in time and draws its inspiration

in a historical heritage invaluable.

Me rida's tea, one of the arche ological sets

the most complete and the best preserved in Spain,

you bear witness to architectural genius

of Roman civilization.

The Se govie aqueduct, imposing vestige of the 2nd century.

veil its splendor over 800 m long.

The city of Granada, last capital

of the kingdom of Al-Andalus and his palace

Thousand and One Nights, The Alhambra,

remember cultural richness

of the Arab-Andalusian heritage.

In Spain,

all roads lead in St-Jacques-de-Compostelle.

Trace in the 9th century,

the roads of the "Camino" attract 300,000 pilgrims per year,

half of whom are Spaniards.

Several routes have been developed.

The French Way, from the Pyre ne es

and the Camino Original along the Atlantic coast.

Both lead to the dramatic cathe of Santiago de Compostela

in Galicia, in the extreme west from the Iberian Peninsula,

one of the liveliest homes of the Catholic faith.

If tourism has allowed Spain to open up to the world

and strengthen its economy

these last few hundred years, there is another sector

including Spain has become a leader in Europe.

It is that of the fishery.

Not far from the cathe drale of St-Jacques-de-Compostelle,

Vigo is the engine from Galicia.

Located on the edge from the ocean to the Atlantic,

it diversifies its activities

in order to adapt to a market expanding.

Vigo is the first fishing port from Spain,

one of the few countries in Europe

whose catches did not back down.

Spain holds 20% of the Community fleet

and guarantees 22%

jobs in this sector.

The country continues despite everything to import.

The Spaniards consume twice as many fish

than the world average.

Faced with multitudes of species cheap from Asia,

Spanish fishing activity adapts

and also transforms the landscape.

Breeding in aquaculture is booming

and feel 25% of fish production.

In the bay of Vigo,

shellfish farming is in the spotlight.

Whole fields of "bateas",

these wooden platforms where the mollusks are grown,

recall that Spain is the 2nd largest producer of mussels

behind China.

Within this activity, women have taken over

a traditional fishery.

400 india workers pending, within several cooperatives,

form a united community

who knew how to make this practice

its brand image: "la Galicia calidad".

Maria Jose runs the coope rative de Cambados for 10 years.

She shares the daily life

of these sinful women and manages the proper functioning

of this activity hyper regulated e.

It is 12 o'clock and the tide is low

in the bay of Cambados.

On the beach, women get ready to complete

their basket cockles and clams.

In Galicia, they are called the "mariscadoras".

-I will measure.

This one still needs to grow a little.

We have as a limit 6 kg of Japanese clams

and 500 g of fine clams.

Since 1999,

the group of fisherwomen was born.

All that we collect is controlled, weighs ...

The size is checked.

We can't pass

the fixed limit e for that day.

The harvest limit of pend of the price of the day before at the cree e

and the amount of resources that we have at the beach.

In fact, these shoals of shells where we work

are concessions to the brother.

We don't just do extraction.

We do other tasks,

like support has surveillance,

algae cleaning, clam seedlings.

It's a very organized job.

- Right now, it's wonderful.

It is a pleasure to work.

In winter, it's hard.

But as we are used to it, I arrive with a smile,

and it's going well. No one tells me what to do.

If I want to sing I sing.

If I want to tell a joke I do.

However, I have to work. Otherwise, I won't bring anything back

at home.

If we have more seashells and that a colleague in need,

we say to him: "Help yourself."

We stand in solidarity with each other.

She sings.

...

-The mariscadoras start fishing

depending on the tides.

There is no restriction to end the day.

They do not sin only 15 days in the month,

a fixed quota between the brotherhood and the local fisheries ministry.

They manage like this the resource that sustains them.

Cambados cockles

and neighboring confreres are known throughout Spain

and export in the entire Europe.

It is 2 p.m.

After 2 hours of collection, the mariscadoras

came back from the beach.

In Pamplona, it is time for the holiday.

The "kilikis" of spinning

with bagpipers in the streets of the old town.

Spend a day in Spain,

it is also living on Spanish time.

The country is at a standstill

between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. for a long fast

which creates a calibration with respect to to other European countries.

Since 1942, Spain lives on German time

while his time zone aligns with the UK,

one of Franco's cision during World War II.

Living in your solar time like Portugal

would allow energy savings

about 300 million euros per year.

In this end of the afternoon, all fans

and air conditioning in the country running at full speed.

Strong economic growth from Spain

in the 2000s

has increased its energetic dependence

and therefore its imports.

In 2015, it continues to import almost 2/3 of its energy.

All of the energy consumed

is 73% of fossil origin,

re left between the oil, gas and coal

and has 27% carbon energy e

part between nuclear energy and renewable energies.

North Africa is a major exporter of gas

in the entire Europe.

In Almeria, the gigantic Medgaz submarine gas pipeline

connects Spain to Algeria.

60% of natural gas is intended for the Spanish market

and the rest is exported in other European countries.

Spain has 8 nuclear players.

In 1984

the government ends the exit of the nucleus.

In 2011,

one month before the events from Fukushima,

the leaders extend the activity of the power plants

ten years old.

The difficult economic context of the country at that time

forced him to come back on his cision.

Today, to guarantee its electricity needs,

Spain multiplies agreements with his neighbors,

like France and Portugal.

Land of crests and wind has a high rate of sunshine,

Spain is considered to be as one of the pioneer countries

in matter renewable energies,

with dazzling growth for over 15 years.

Wind and solar produce in total

35% of the country's electricity.

With more than 1,000 wind farms

left all over the country,

wind power production has more than doubled in 10 years.

Spain today ranks 2nd

at the european level in, behind Germany.

Sparsely populated lands provinces

from Castile-La Mancha, from Galicia and Castille-Le on,

have taken on an unexpected value.

150 km northeast of Madrid,

the wind farm of Maranchon stretches over 14 km.

Every day,

its 104 turbines produce energy

for more than 150,000 households.

The annual sunshine time

is another asset of Spain.

Exploitation solar energy

has experienced a development impressive,

passing from a contribution of 30 GWh in 2002

has 10,000 GWh in 2012.

That is to say a growth rate of 80%.

In recent years,

tired of paying heavy electricity bills,

the Spaniards turned s towards solar energy

to equip their homes or their companies.

In Andalusia, Navarre, in Catalonia ...

In re action,

the big enterprises electricity,

worried about the shortfall,

pushed the government to establish the tax on the sun,

taxing the self-production of energy.

Faced with these political decisions and to bypass these taxes

which they consider unjust,

a group of men and students created in 2010

Som Energia, "We are the energy",

the 1st Spanish co-operation renewable energies.

-Hello.

-I'm Manel, of SUD Renovables.

-We chose to pass from Endesa

at Som Energia in 2014,

when the government made vote

the tax on the sun.

It was mostly out of conviction.

A way of expressing our agree

vis-a-vis of energy policy

of the government of Madrid.

In Spain, most energy comes from the nucleus.

We even have to import some.

But this is very incongruous.

Why bring energy from elsewhere,

from dangerous sources,

while the sun here is resplendent?

We have Som Energia covered,

a transparent company and ethics,

guaranteeing that the energy buys

is renewable.

Inaudible words

Som Energia's project is turnkey.

It will be profitable in a few years.

Energy will be cheaper.

We will only have to maintain the signs

and the depreciation will be acce le re

by reduction local taxes.

Before we paid 120 euros / month maximum.

But now we think

70 euros maximum.

Here, 115 families have agreed

to buy together these facilities.

They realize

than other models are possible.

-Som Energia brings together today more than 80,000 members

and continues to grow.

The europe parliament in fixed at 32%

the rate of renewable energy in 2030.

In November 2018,

the spanish government went further

by proposing a law for climate change

who pre sees carbon neutrality in 2050.

At the other end of the country, 60 km from the city,

there is another project

who is also developing energy from the sun.

But on a whole different scale.

You have to fly over this installation

to take the measure.

Gemasolar is a solar power plant capable of storing energy.

A world premiere

in history renewable energies.

Thanks to his mirrors,

she can produce electricity

270 days a year.

That is to say 2 to 3 times more that wind

And the others renewable energies.

His secret is hiding inside the receiver

who can reach a temperature of 600 degrees.

The power station draws, on 185 ha of rural land,

a ge ant mandala in the form of 2,650 mirrors.

Raul Mendoza, manager the production of Gemasolar,

explains how it works of this energy age.

-The method of production,

with us, in Gemasolar, is pretty straightforward.

In the receiver, we have a reservoir

of molten salt.

These molten salt crystals

will absorb solar energy accumulates

and will warm up at about 565 degrees s.

When we need to use

this stored thermal energy,

we send the crystals of molten salt to a system

which generates steam or these salts, mix with water,

will create steam at high pressure and temperature.

Finally, this vapor

turns a turbine which generates electricity.

That means that we are capable

to store thermal energy

and produce even during the night.

We can adapt our production

to market needs.

Each he liostat has been configured

with a precise program corresponding to its location

in the solar field.

This program allows you to follow the path of the sun.

We can compare this with a sunflower.

-Gemasolar, the Spanish solar jewel,

opens the area for a new one generation of power plants

who interests today

many governments.

Finance in partnership with Abu Dhabi,

it supplies 25,000 homes every year,

by avoiding more than 30,000 t e carbon emissions.

It is in Spain that the progress in renewable energies

are the most advanced in the world.

It is 4 p.m.

It's that hot hour of the day

than the sun makes the most of treats

in the southern regions of the country.

Spain is the country the driest in Europe.

Its climate tells me that it is forces him to face

at times of dearness regular.

Insufficient volume precipitation

and the dry weather make the Spaniards fear

a lack of water.

Hydrological diversity of Spain creates cleavages

between the humid provinces North

and the affected areas by the dearess

in the center and in the south of the peninsula.

For 40 years,

water policy is dictated by the central government.

Throughout Spain, we build dams,

we create huge reserves

in the form of basins or artificial lakes.

Sometimes that is not enough.

It is necessary to place over great distances.

Kilometers of aqueduct meander,

making water travel from province to province.

This management centralizes e

gave rise to a water war merciless between the provinces

who have and those who lack it.

In blue, the regions or water resources

are dental excess.

In red, the regions or the availability of resources

is fictitious.

In green, cultivated areas are to be irrigated.

The uses of water in Spain are many,

between cities major consumers of water

and the intended areas to agriculture.

Along of the cost to me terrane enne,

the phe nomene is amplifying,

because to water needs for agriculture

are added those of tourism.

Seen from the sky, in the province from Castile-La Mancha,

the Tagus is reduced to a trickle of water.

Today, this river,

the longest from the Iberian Peninsula,

which has its source in Aragon and cross the country,

is having his worst crisis.

The Tagus is dying,

e draws by the dearess and hydrographic transfers.

Naturalist and spokesperson for the preservation of the Tagus,

Miguel Angel Sanchez study the upheavals caused

by water transfers between provinces.

Flying over the Sierra de Altomira,

he points to the limits hydrological facilities

and their impact on populations and the resources of the river

who reach today a critical threshold.

-The Tagus has always been used by you to turn the mills.

The fields around were cultivated for the real ones.

The force of the water was used to grind the grains

in the mills installed near rivers.

We now reach two large reservoirs:

that of Entrepenas and that of Buendia.

They built you

in the 1950s.

Their capacity is very important.

About 1,650 hm.

It would make it possible to give a drink

has a city of 20 million inhabitants

for 1 year.

All this water you see here

is stored for transfer.

Only 20 to 30% of the water go to the Tagus

and 70% on transfer.

We use the term "hydrocolony".

This is what causes problems

and that's why the river is in this state.

Here the water is pumped e

through the transfer pipes.

There, a 300 km canal leads her at the other end of Spain.

-The Tajo-Segura Trasvase is an important work

Of the history of Spanish engineering.

Planning transfer of water from the Tagus river

towards the Segura river date of 1933,

in order to remedy the shortage of water resources

in the Spanish Southeast.

The site was launched in 1968.

The aqueduct will come into operation in 1981.

292 km long,

this book allows to transfer

600 million m3 of water per year,

of which 1/4 is reserved for urban supply

and 3/4 for irrigation.

The Tagus water placement has ecological consequences

in the province from Castile-La Mancha.

But she also provoked one serves as a mographic

throughout the region which borders the river.

-Soon, these cities will have disappeared,

because it will not remain hardly anyone anymore

to inhabit them.

Because from Madrid,

priority is given to big cities

and rich regions at the expense of the poorest.

The budget allocated by the State

to autonomous communities is a function of the population.

It does not depend on the territory. It is a problem

in the management from across the country.

Now we will enter in one of the regions

the wildest in Spain:

the Alto Tajo natural park. It is a protected park.

These are thousands of hectares practically pristine in nature.

Here we are almost at the birth of the Tagus.

The water comes from from several sources

emerging from inside the Earth.

We must take into account the fact that these rivers of Alto Tajo,

the Tagus and the Guadiela,

lost 50% of their intake in about thirty years.

These empty territories situated s inside the peninsula

used their water to generate wealth

and develop the Basque Country, Catalonia, Madrid ...

We are entitled to a break

so that our rivers stay alive

and generate wealth. This would allow us to survive.

Solidarity must also go in the other direction.

-In the south of Spain,

there are provinces or water use

the limits are gone of understanding.

On the Andalusian coast,

west of Almeria,

a unique landscape stretches as far as the eye can see.

This 40,000 ha plain which colonizes the earth

until invading the mountains is a set of greenhouses

where the drip rings automated irrigation e.

This is El Ejido,

capital europe enne intensive agriculture.

Without losing 1 m2 of floor space,

man wrapped up the territory a white coat

visible from space.

Here, thousands of tons gum and fruit

are produced every day, above ground and off season,

and end up in the markets of France,

from England and Germany.

A cheap workforce, sun and lots of water,

have made Spain one of the leaders

market culture in Europe,

with the Netherlands and Italy.

This intensive production model

draws on atic groundwater of the province.

We must now drill up to 600 m deep

to find water.

Nobody knows how much time is left

before the network underground fossil disappears.

Desalination of sea water

became the alternative the most laughing

to the problem of fresh water.

Spain is the 1st producer of desalinated water in Europe.

This new technology allowed the southern regions

to secure the future of their market produce.

We number 380 factories desalination in Spain,

producing 1,800,000 m3 of desalinated water per day,

the equivalent of consumption of 9 million Spaniards.

The percussions on industrial activities,

agricultural, tourist and domestic

are increasingly important.

In recent years,

the cost of these techniques down

and competition that of pumping methods.

East of the province of Almeria,

in the autonomous community from Murcia,

an immense plain of culture stretches as far as the eye can see.

It is in this place that the Tajo-Segura aqueduct

ends his journey from north to south,

feeding the many reservoirs

returned to the territory.

Here, the farms are open

and production methods take place in the ground.

They make work 45,000 people

and repre feel 30% of exports

of fruits and vegetables of the country.

In Spain, agriculture has contributed

on arrival foreign workers

mainly come from North Africa.

This cheap labor continue to support

the dynamism of this sector.

North of Cartagena,

a stone's throw from the Segura river, we are on the land

of the company te Agroherni.

Sergio Ros,

industrial engineer and general manager,

tell us why intensive agriculture has changed

and how she tries

to respond to a request always more important

of European countries.

-What is happening now in the region of Murcia

and in the rest of Spain,

it's professionalization of agriculture.

We hire people with experience abroad,

better fit on positions of responsibility,

to renew the way to work.

Of the 2,500 ha that we have,

only 60 of them are in greenhouses.

The rest is open to the sky.

We work

with 800 employees of more than 20 nationalities.

It is a me tier in which

we have to move enormously.

We not only have production areas,

but especially moments and production windows.

I had the chance

to visit sites around the world,

including in the USA. We have nothing to envy them.

We are doing very well.

Our production costs are enviable

and above all, we have extraordinary know-how,

because we were asked a lot.

The future should be a national pact,

a state pact. Like this, in 10 years,

we would no longer ask the issue of water.

Everything would be under control.

We would have different plans. Plan A:

transfer.

Plan B: desalination plants.

Plan C, which does not yet exist.

The key to the future of agriculture in this region of Spain

is that we are able to suggest

impeccable products.

If we manage to include elements of industry 4.0.,

that would be wonderful.

What we aspire to it is to be able

to provide customers an application

which allows them in real time

to know if their salad always pushes

and how long it will take him to arrive

until its final destination.

Our clients

come from all over Europe,

from the Middle-East, or even much further.

But Europe represents 80% of our turnover.

For Spain, there is only that 15 to 20% of our production.

-In Almeria and Murcia,

they say than the first greenhouses

were born by chance, while local peasants

were trying to protect their wind production.

These regions were among the poorest in Spain.

Intensive agriculture enriched them in 20 years.

The trucks going up to northern countries

take away in their trailer the water of the country

in the form of fruits and gumes.

A transformed water that represents

a step of 5 billion euros per year.

Spain cannot slow down.

Its agriculture so greedy in water

is also an engine the revival of its economy.

In contrast to this research profitability

intensive agriculture,

the respect of environment and resources

combined with agriculture traditional diterrane enne

are values ​​that drive number of Spanish farmers.

In the north of Spain, centuries traditional agriculture

have sculpted the landscape

of the autonomous community from La Rioja.

This wine-growing region, backing onto the Ebro,

gave its letters of nobility with Spanish wine.

Further south, in Andalusia,

agriculture diterrane enne, less water consuming,

is back.

Olive groves there are plants

and operated for centuries.

But these cultures are brought up to date,

like almond trees,

whose area increases each year by 1000 ha.

Easy to grow and limited maintenance,

almond fields consume very little water

and have the advantage of offering a fruiting

twice a year.

Fly over the land in the extreme west of Spain,

it is also to cover another form of landscapes

man-made models.

With 4 million hectares of pastures

between Spain and Portugal,

the region of Estre madure

houses the largest system agroforestry in Europe.

She's been around forever to the primary sector,

or trees, crops and livestock

are united within of the same agricultural area.

This immense territory called "la dehesa" in Castilian

is a municipal land estate

extensively managed by e lifters.

These ancestral forests of green oaks

and cork oaks

have enabled the region to produce

one of the commodities the most famous in Spain:

Bellota ham.

For 3 generations,

the cooperative Senorio de Montanera

he raises his Iberian pigs on several grounds

scattered throughout the region.

Francisco esparrago is the director

of this cooperative bringing together 60th lifters

on this agroforestry territory

or animals and trees are inseparable.

-The dehesa was a system re pandu in Spain.

But because it was a relatively poor country,

we had to cut a lot of trees

to produce this real.

In this region, it's different,

because it is a mountainous area.

We couldn't wood

to produce this real. Here, we would produce almost nothing.

So we stayed s in a forest system

which makes the symbiosis

between the exploitation of trees, like the cork oaks

and the green oaks,

and the lifting of the be tail with pigs

who enjoy the weed and acorns.

Cries intended for the be tail

...

L'Estre madure was an abandoned region.

When we are figured out

that the European government in cared about sustainability

grazing and reforestation,

this allowed us to grow and highlight the region

at a global level.

Flamenco music

Cries intended for the be tail

...

...

-When the Montanera arrives, around mid-November,

it is the period of the acorns.

She goes from November to February, or even goal march.

It lasts 3 or 4 months.

Here we have 2 species of acorns.

These are green oaks. Smaller, more sugar.

And those from che‚nes-corks. Bigger and bitter.

When it's La Montanera,

they wake up around 5 or 6 a.m.

They take the 10 o'clock nap until 1 or 2 p.m.

Then they start again to eat without stopping

acorns and grass.

They stuff themselves.

And at 10 p.m., they go to sleep.

And at 6 am, it starts again.

Inaudible conversation

...

-What we do now,

every year,

it's planting 200 trees so that in 100 years,

thing that I will not see, it will be for my grandchildren,

The dehesa is re g ne re e.

The dehesa is an ideal place to raise the pigs.

They are animals who fatten a lot.

Acorn fat has a peculiarity

that we only find in acorns and olives:

it contains ole ic acid.

During maturation, there is a nomene phe of oxidation.

Aromas very particular to pledge.

This is why Iberian ham tastes so good.

Me lodie on the guitar

...

We have protected

the iberian pig

by a quality standard throughout Spain.

Almost 50% of production is sold abroad.

Flamenco music

We can't compete the e levages of northern Europe.

We are limited in quantity and with exceptional quality.

This is what I am doing here.

-The end of the day is approaching.

In the heart of the country,

the pulse of the capital starts to slow down.

To Madrid, it's time for culture

to enter the scene.

Since the goal of the 2000s,

the city has revitalized its urban fabric.

Madrid Rio is the emblem of this policy

which creates bridges

between cultural life and its inhabitants.

This great greenway of 430 ha runs along the Manzanares river

and covers the M-30 pe riphe ric.

It has become a playful space

which connects the historic city and working-class neighborhoods.

Madrid, flagship of culture,

has earned its place in the capital city map

of contemporary creation.

Its great national museums,

like the Prado or the Reina Sofia,

cost centers from die s to the new creation

whose town hall impels renewal.

Matadero Madrid, former slaughterhouse, became 10 years ago

a space open to the public

that welcomes artists from all walks of life.

Another symbolic place culture in the city,

the Conde Duque center, old barracks of Madrid,

is run by a couple young programmers

recently returned to the country.

Isla Aguilar embodies the spirit

of these young Spaniards goes through the "expatriate s" box.

-It's a building who dreamed of us

full of secrets that we had to cover again.

There are these fortress walls, barracks,

that we had to open

me taphorically and really in Madrid

to make it a human place, friendly, on a human scale.

We advance little by little,

with different audiences and artists.

It allows us to diversify.

What seems essential to me,

it's not to stay on a single axis,

but try to create a variety for all tastes.

For example, here, we are going to present "Heaven".

It's a show play by a duo of performers

in front of a small audience,

in a privileged place, to enjoy the sky of Madrid.

Words in Spanish Laughter from the audience

-The sky of Madrid has admired you by all painters.

It is the city of painters and light.

I believe in constantly to address our cries to the sky

so as not to stand still.

-It is 9 p.m. and daylight falls on Spain.

For most of Europe, the day is over

for 1 hour or 2,

while many Spaniards working.

In Pamplona, the festivities continue

on the main square.

In Barcelona, the end of the day light

envelops the Catalan capital.

The sun is disappearing behind the mountain of Tibidabo.

From the control tower, the operator guides

a last liner towards the exit of the port.

In all the countries, the streets are not going to fill up

before several hours. Spain rites its reputation to me

country of night owls.

Nightlife,

appreciates by all generations,

is at the heart of the art of living in the Spanish.

An art turns towards public space,

the "living outside".

There are people everywhere.

We feast on tapas Terrace

and we walk around on the wide "avenidas".

-Today,

we are here, facing the Se govie bridge,

who was of trout by the publicans

to the cries of "No pasaran",

to avoid the entry of the fascists.

-This evening, in Madrid,

the festival Los Veranos De la Villa

take place in the Jardines Bajos

near the Se govie bridge.

Javier Gallego, host a free radio station in Madrid,

proclaims his poem,

accompanies the rock band Barcelona Seward.

-A country upside down

With people head downstairs

Slaughtered

By an army of accountants

Under an unstoppable silence

That silences the frost in the street

Or collapse Flabby buildings

Like baby skins without flesh

Madrid is a city or everything happens in the street.

The warmth of the public, it's particular.

I think it's related to the me tis character of the city.

She is hospitable, even though it's a tough city,

like all big cities.

She is dedicated to welcoming people from the outside.

It makes her mind

talkative, open, hospitable.

It's a country of bars, a street country.

It is a land of conversations.

Keep putting this country

Upside down and head down

Make him bite the dust

Madrid is a political city. Ideas are circulating.

There is confrontation and interesting battles.

There have been social movements, as "Les Indigne s", recently.

He was born here before reaching out to the whole country.

Now, it is feminism in Spain

which resumes the front of the europe scene.

The March 8 movement

is a reference for the rest of the world.

All these social movements show that in Spain

people are very active.

Like waves that go up and that go down.

When they go up they are very cumulative and powerful.

Give to a country his own remedy

And he won't laugh

Punish him

And he will be without mercy

Applause

-Tonight, the festive mood takes hold

squares and streets.

The rhythm of nightlife re rings in the country.

Fanfare

The economic crisis

and social questioned the future of the country.

The Spaniards have risen.

Fireworks

Last standing, in a country that goes to bed late

and get up early, the young age

look up to a sky full of hope

from a country that did not say his last word.
