Birdwatching on the Costa del Sol

Booted eagle, Spain. SPIN: Birdwatching on the Costa del Sol

Saga Hosted Hotels

Birdwatching

Every year, millions of migratory birds travel between Africa and Europe through the Strait of Gibraltar, the closest point between the two continents. Southern Spain, especially near the Strait, is one of the best places to witness this. On this birdwatching holiday, we’ll visit some of the most interesting birdwatching sites that southern Spain has to offer. We’ll observe birds like honey buzzards, booted eagles, kites, storks, osprey, chiffchaffs, and redstarts filling the sky during their incredible journeys.

Five included excursions
- Rivers Guadiaro and Palmones (half day)
- Tarifa (full day)
- La Janda and Alcornocales Natural Park (full day)
- River Guadalhorce (full day)
- Ronda Mountains (full day)

Sol Marbella Estepona Atalaya Park
Discover beachfront seclusion at Sol Marbella Estepona Atalaya Park, tucked away between Marbella and Estepona on the sun-drenched Costa del Sol. Surrounded by sweeping sea views, palm trees, and lush gardens, this large and spacious resort is just steps from the beach. Enjoy the peace and quiet the location of this hotel offers. Whether you’re lounging by the pools, taking morning walks on the rocky beach (not suitable for those with mobility issues), or enjoying refreshing drinks at one of the bars (some are seasonal), relaxation will be effortless. Take your time to discover nearby towns or simply unwind on the nearby Costa del Sol beaches.
