La Mancha (mouflon)
Predilección por hábitat rocosos y de matorral. Ocupa pinares mezclados con encinas y quejigos; por lo general suele vivir en la parte alta de estos bosques, sin sobrepasar los 1600m, evitando las zonas muy escabrosas.
I have translated encina as "holm oak" before. From what I can work out "quejigo" (or rebollo) is another type of oak (Spanish oak?). Looks like it is from the latin quercus - what is its common name? I am getting my trees a bit mixed up.
TIA

Sturdy is the first word that came to mind, Spain would not be Spain without the encinas and olive trees!

There's another term for quejigo, but they don't seem to have the English equivalent.

I was thinking of this Mirbeck's oak on the list... I've just found it in wikipedia with a photo... Would it work? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirbeck_Oak "The Algerian Oak or Mirbeck's Oak (Quercus canariensis) is an oak in the section Quercus sect. Mesobalanus, native to southern Portugal, Spain, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco; despite the scientific name, it does not occur naturally in the Canary Islands.
It is a medium-sized deciduous to semi-evergreen tree growing to 20-30 m tall with a trunk up to 1.5 m diameter. The leaves are 10-15 cm long and 6-8 cm broad, with 6-12 pairs of shallow lobes. The flowers are catkins; the fruit is an acorn 2.5 cm long and 2 cm broad, in a shallow cup"
