Farm soil
58 % of the land is farmland (7,773 km²; in Spain, 48 %). On that land the most common texture is clay loam and the most widespread soil type is luvisols. More detail and the comparison with Europe in farm soils.
Each dot is a 2 × 2 km square with farmland, coloured by its texture. For pH, organic matter, soil type or crop, see the farm soils map.
Click a municipality to see its soil on its page. In grey, municipalities outside this area or with no farmland on the CORINE map (woodland, urban land or fields smaller than 25 ha).
Topsoil (0-30 cm) from the SoilGrids model (ISRIC) over the farmland of the CORINE Land Cover 2018 map. It is a model: it is good for comparing areas, but it is no substitute for a soil test of the field.
