An ornithological trail to Mount Montemayor de Ayora which passes many different habitats and where many different bird species can be seen.
This ornithological route coincides with the hiking route of the ascent to Montemayor. It is a circular route although it can be made linear if you have little time. The route begins on the outskirts of the town Ayora, next to the sports fields of the Escuelas, where the information panel is located. Crossing an area of chalets and country houses you walk until a fork where you must turn right.
Along this path you will get closer to the CV440 until you stand parallel to it for a while following the signs (yellow markings) and you will gradually approach the base of Montemayor. In this section you can enjoy a landscape of fields of olive and almond trees with the presence of birds linked to these dry crops ( Stillits, Gulirisk, Grå Fluesnapper, Hærfugl, Gærdesanger and Ensfarvet Stær).
When you reach the slopes of the mountain, you leave the crops and also leave the path to access a path that, between pine forest and scrub, accompanies you until you ascend to the top. During the ascent, you will be accompanied Musvit, Blåmejse, Korttået Træløber and Dværgørn.
At the top of Montemayor (1108m) you will enjoy the impressive views of the 4 cardinal points where you will be able to see the main geographical features of the area. In this area you can see Vandrefalk, Blådrossel, Ringdue, Kongeørn and Vestlig Sortstrubet Bynkefugl. Other birds you can see along the trail are Rødhovedet Tornskade, Kirkeugle, Husrødstjert, Ravn, Sorthovedet Sanger, Rødhøne and Slangeørn.

Espagnol: Subida al monte Montemayor de Ayora, itinerario ornitológico. La ruta ornitológica coincide con la ruta senderista de la Subida al Montemayor, se trata de una ruta circular aunque puede hacerse lineal si se dispone de poco tiempo. Esta ruta se inicia a las afueras de la localidad, junto a los campos de deporte de las Escuelas, lugar donde está el panel informativo de inicio. Atravesando una zona de chalets y casas de campo nos alejamos hasta una bifurcación donde deberemos girar a la derecha.
Por este camino nos iremos acercando a la CV440 hasta colocarnos paralelos a ella durante un rato siguiendo la señalización (marcas amarillas) y nos iremos acercando poco a poco a la base del Montemayor. En este tramo disfrutaremos principalmente de un paisaje de campos de olivos y almendros con presencia de aves ligadas a estos cultivos de secano (jilgueros, verdecillos, papamoscas, currucas, estorninos, abubillas...).
Al llegar a las faldas de la montaña dejamos los cultivos y abandonamos también el camino para acceder a una senda que, entre bosque de pino y matorral nos acompaña hasta ascender a la cima. Durante el ascenso nos acompañarán carboneros, herrerillos, agateadores, águila calzada.
En la cima del Montemayor (1108m) disfrutaremos de las impresionantes vistas a los 4 puntos cardinales donde podremos ver los principales accidentes geográficos de la zona (entre ellas zonas ZEPA y LIC). Vandrefalk Blådrossel Ringdue Kongeørn Vestlig Sortstrubet Bynkefugl
