Birdwatching TOURS - THE AlpujarraS & SIERRA NEVADA, ANDALUCIA

Join us for Birdwatching tours and excursions in the beautiful southern foothills of the Alpujarras and Sierra Nevada mountains. The Alpujarras offer some of Spain's most spectacular birdlife. Based in the village of Lanjaron, we can show you the rich variety of birding highlights the region has available.

The Tours

We are passionate about the area and it's birdlife. We offer guided tours in 4x4 transport in small groups to ensure we get the best the region can provide. Recent days have brought great sightings of Eagle Owl, Goshawk and Iberian Yellow Wagtails. There is always something fantastic to see!

Our Website

You will find much information about our tours and birdlife on this site. Also we report any news or frequent sightings. Much of the site is "interactive" and we encourage you to assist with any information you can provide.

The Birds OF THE ALPUJARRAS
