This article examines the relation between nation and nature in Spain during the Spanish Civil War and post-war years. As in other European cases of fascist and parafascist regimes, the Francoist regime mobilised nature for political and nationalistic goals. Spanish nature embodied the essences of the ‘true Spain’ and was seen as key to the regeneration of the country. The regime assumed an agrarian discourse that identified the countryside and nature with the real essences of the nation. It adopted autarkic political, social and economic directives, closing the country upon itself in order to regenerate and purge away its sins, but also confident that the nation’s nature was the basis for building a new empire.

本文考察了西班牙内战期间和战后时期西班牙的民族与自然之间的关系。与其他欧洲法西斯和超法西斯政权一样，法兰克政权动员自然来实现政治和民族主义目标。西班牙的本质体现了“真正的西班牙”的精髓，被视为国家复兴的关键。该政权采用了一种农业话语，将乡村和自然与国家的真正本质联系在一起。它采取了自给自足的政治，社会和经济指示，关闭了该国，以重生和清除其罪恶，但同时也相信该国的性质是建立新帝国的基础。
