Why Spain Is a Renewable Energy and Infrastructure Cycle
🛢️ Oil: Repsol is Spain's integrated energy champion — upstream in Libya, Gulf of Mexico, Norway plus domestic refining.
⚡ Renewables: Iberdrola is Europe's largest renewable utility — wind and solar across Spain, UK, US, Brazil.
🏗️ Infrastructure: ACS and Ferrovial are global infrastructure contractors — Heathrow, Canadian toll roads, US highways.
🏦 Banking: Santander and BBVA have massive Latin American exposure — Mexican and Brazilian banking cycles amplify European earnings.
✈️ Tourism: Spain is Europe's largest tourism destination — IAG's Iberia and Vueling are primary aviation beneficiaries.
🏠 Construction: Spanish housing market cycles — driven by tourist demand, northern European relocations and domestic credit.
