Cold winter is coming to many areas of Spain and in those places with large mountains it may be normal for people to go there to collect firewood to use in their fireplaces.
The TikTok account @xavi_abat made a video of themselves asking if it’s legal to collect pine cones and wood for the fireplace. “Is this legal?” he wanted to know.
“Yes, of course. Well, I don’t know,” said the woman accompanying him, who passed the question to the “TikTok lawyer”: “TikTok lawyer, “Can I get wood to make a fireplace in my house?”
“Excellent question. There is no simple answer,” said the expert, who explained it There are no state regulations that regulate this situation.. So “in general terms”, throughout Spain, “there are things that are repeated”.
The first thing is that It is not possible to cut down a tree with an ax or a saw without the written authorization of the Administration. In most places Yes, it is allowed to collect branches from the ground and pine cones “if unopened”: “If they are closed and contain pine nuts, as well as the moss in the woods, you must ask the Administration for permission.”
