- Dry: in the southeast of mainland Spain. Temperatures are mild all year round. Rainfall is light, especially in summer.

-Typical: in coastal areas. Temperatures are mild in winter and hot in summer. Rainfall is irregular, with most rain in autumn.

Holm oaks, pines and shrubs grow in these climates. Lynx, partridges and rabbits are the most common fauna.
