El Pas de la Casa

On the border with France  >  Andorra

If you are passing through, this place is worth a stop because there are quite a few birds to be seen. In particular, the kavče žlutozobé.

Description

El Pas de la Casa is worth a detour because it is located high in the mountains and therefore a good place to observe the kavče žlutozobé, which is only found in the Pyreenees and Alps. In addition, Estany de les Abelletes has a beautiful mountain lake that can be viewed on the pleasant walk up from the town.

You can also spot other birds such as pěvuška podhorní, orlík krátkoprstý, sup bělohlavý, břehule skalní, konopka obecná, holub skalní, konipas horský, vrabec domácí and vrabec skalní.
