Spanish term or phrase: POR EL PARAÍSO EUROPEO
My main problem is how to translate 'POR' here. I just have this heading (Incentives) and then the other heading under it.


Incentives

**POR EL PARAÍSO EUROPEO** DEL TURISMO ORNITOLÓGICO

La privilegiada situación de España como lugar de paso de aves migratorias que cruzan el continente europeo para llegar o volver de África hace de nuestro país un enclave idóneo para su observación. Comunidades autónomas como Extremadura con el Parque Nacional de Monfragüe, Cataluña con el Delta del Ebro, o Navarra con las Bardenas Reales han convertido a España en uno de los países de referencia del turismo ornitológico.

Europe's ornithological tourism paradise


Explanation:
If you don't translate "Por" you can get something that sounds a bit less stilted in English.

INTO THE EUROPEAN PARADISE


Explanation:
INTO THE EUROPEAN PARADISE OF ORNITHOLOGICAL TOURISM

(I think into is in keeping with the literary sense of "por")

A European Paradise ...


Explanation:
A European Paradise for bird watchers ( or for ornithilogical tourism, if you like)

I think you should just forget the "por". I would guess the heading is one of several that all name reason or "incentives".

(exploring/explore/visit) Europe's greatest/finest ornithological paradise


Explanation:
Which is Spain, if I haven't misread.

I don't think you need to translate 'por' here; one of the verbs would do fine, but is not essential.

I think it stresses Spain's 'supremacy' in this field.
