Why is Spanish pork so good?

Maybe its just been my unlucky menu choices in the past here in the UK that led me to believe it was a prticulary hard and dry meat but ive just returned from Spain and had some beautiful meals. The highlight being from a bloody restaurant in a zoo, where i had a piece of pork loin the size of my fist cooked to perfection and it had the texture of filet steak. I was even asked how i wanted it cooking.

So why such a variation in quality of meat? Does it just come down to the different climates?
