Descripción
La Higuerilla is a great spot to look for birds of prey. In 2024 I found 3 different Buitre Negro nests in the oaks on the other side of the river, although some diligent scanning is required to find them. Also easily seen in spring and summer are Milano Negro, Culebrera Europea and Águila calzada.
Be sure to check the riverbanks for fishing Cigüeña Negra. On- and around the river Garza Real, Garceta Común and Cormorán Grande are present most of the time, as well as Garza Imperial sometimes. Pay attention to the calls of Perdiz Roja, which often can be found in the scrubland or even crossing the road.

Accesso
La Higuerilla is easily reached from Villareal de San Carlos. It is the third viewpoint (on the left side of the road) after passing the Torrejon-Tietar dam. You can park next to the viewpoint. Press P on the map for directions.
