You neglected to also do a search on its common name, Aleppo pine.

Apparently it was not introduced to Spain & other countries in Europe, but
is native there. I found this on a Moroccan site: Aleppo pine (Pinus
halepensis Mill.) is a coniferous species, which cover about 3.5 million
hectares in the Mediterranean area. It extends from 9° longitude west in
Morocco to 36° longitude east in Jordan, and from 45° latitude north in
France to 31°30' latitude in Palestine and Israel.
Throughout its range, it individualizes several races and ecotypes
related to localities, altitude and soil substrate. Its origin in Morocco,
Spain and France is likely natural and Moroccan populations seem to be
relic.
