What to expect

1

Punta de Calaburras

Marine and coastal birds at Cabo Pino and Calaburras lighthouse (Calahonda marine protected area), especially abundant in winter and during the migration season.

Duration 90 minutes
2

Playa Guadalhorce

Visiting the Guadalhorce Estuary is compulsory since this site is one of the most attractive wetlands in Andalusia and undoubtedly one of the best bird watching sites in Spain (!). As expected, many waterfowl and waders await us. On the best days, experienced birdwatchers spot up to a hundred species in this small reserve.

Duration 150 minutes
3

Malaga

Our long circuit will take us to the Rio Grande, another interesting place with riparian forest.

Duration 60 minutes
4

Mirador de Juanar

We will then visit El Juanar, a 'white' limestone mountain, with beautiful views over the Costa del Sol and Africa. The timing should be good for some birds of prey. On hot days, the pine forest will protect us a little from the heat.

Duration 90 minutes
5

Parque Nacional Sierra De Las Nieves

Next, we move to a small Mediterranean reservoir and stream, which flows from the nearby Sierra de Las Nieves National Park, where a more impressive biodiversity awaits us.

Duration 90 minutes

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
