Social media data: Flickr and Twitter metadata for eight mountain parks in Spain and Portugal

This dataset contains a collection of geolocated photos and their associated metadata, which were retrieved from two social media platforms: Flickr (241,582 photos) and Twitter/X (1,035,488 photos) downloaded for the period 2015 - 2022. The metadata includes information such as geographic coordinates, timestamps, anonymised user identifiers and platform-specific attributes (e.g. tags, text captions, image URLs and retweets/favourites for Twitter). The data were collected for eight mountain national parks located in Spain and Portugal: Aigüestortes, Sierra de Guadarrama, Ordesa, Peneda-Gerês, Picos de Europa, Sierra de las Nieves, Sierra Nevada and Teide. These databases were subsequently labeled using artificial intelligence models and expert human labelers. Table 1.
