Spain is at the most south-westerly part of the paleoarctic bird region and has species not found elsewhere in Europe or most easily seen here.
Gerard Gorman Where to watch birds in Eastern Europe Hamlyn 1994 214 pp.
We used this to good effect in Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. It also covers Poland, Romania, and Bulgaria, with single pages on countries that you would not be wise to visit currently.
Hanne & Jens Eriksen, Panadda & Dave E. Sargeant Birdwatching Guide to Oman Al Roya Publishing 2001 256 pp.
We used this one year after it was published and by then some roads had changed! If you go, you need to speak Arabic or have an Arabic speaker. One gets a mix of Indian and paleoarctic species.
Michael Gallagher & Martin W. Woodcock The Birds of Oman Quartet Books 1980 310 pp.
Price $5.00. This is a coffee table book – not one to carry in the field!
