In a book from Spain on engineering and society. For translation to British English.
This is a description of an imaginary TV programme of the "Extreme Engineering" type, starting with the camera taking a bird's eye view, then sweeping down, but what is a "pineda"?
"Como un pájaro, desciende planeando hasta a aproximarse al territorio. Pasa rozando una pineda, rebasa parcelaciones de cultivos para remontar el vuelo, cruzar la divisoria y entrar en un valle cerrado, más abrupto."
