[Imports] Spanish mountain ranges import.

[Alejandro S.]

Hi!

Just to give everybody some context, the spanish community is still
debating if there is consensus to make this import. For example, I'm not
convinced we should do it and the more I read about verifiability the less
convinced I am.

Regards,
