Pinus halepensis mainly (replanted), but mixed with Quercus ilex and some Quercus faginea. There are several species of Cistus and other shrubs. In general is a little arid.
Thank you Theo.

To my dutch eyes, very arid.
ut there must be grasses, since Host of Gonia are grasseating Noctuidae.

Yes, I can imagine.

It's a little arid as I said, but not so much. There are many grasses, and even mosses and some orchids. Just now it's almost sure some orchids are flowering.
