Description
The Mirador del Puerto de las Palomas is located in the Sierra de Cazorla Natural Park at an altitude of approximately 1,250 meters. The viewpoint offers stunning panoramic views of the Guadalquivir Valley (which is at an altitude of 800 m) and the surrounding mountain ranges. This spot is great for bird watching as you can see many hanhikorppikotka flying around and sitting on the rocks quite close to you.
Usually you have to look up to spot vultures. Here they are seen below you or at the same height. This is very convenient, especially for taking photos.
