This work summarizes the contribution of the Spanish working group on the EEE macroseismic Intensity Scale promoted by the INQUA Subcomission on Paleoseismology (Environmental Effects of Earthquakes). At present the Spanish WG has classified a total amount of 20 seismic events, 7 of them instrumental earthquakes and the other 13 historical ones. Two of the historical ones are only evidenced by geological, geomorphologic (Tobarra, Albacele) and archaeological data (Baelo Claudia, Bolonia Bay, Cádiz), the rest are well documented in historical sources and existing seismic catalogues. A total of 36 EEE files have been completed for different localities of the analyzed earthquakes, which have been already implemented in the EEE INQUA data-base. The Spanish data cover intensity degrees from V to X of the conventional MSK Scale, with associated magnitudes (Ms) from 4.3 to 6.7.
