Tarifa, Cadiz, Andalusia  >  Spain

A vismig (visible migration) watchpoint for raptors during migration.

Description

If the winds are right, there's a very good chance of seeing multiple species of migrating raptors like Circaète Jean-le-Blanc, Vautour percnoptère, Aigle botté, Milan noir and Bondrée apivore from here. Everything depends on the winds. During Spring this spot is best in Southerlies but can also be good during other winds. On occassion, in Westerlies, the birds will be crossing further East at Punta Carnero.

Accès

Most people drive down from a turn off on the N-340 coming from Tarifa. It's the second right coming from the town. A road winds up and down for a couple of kilometres to reach this spot. Once there, you can stand, sit, or walk around a little but most people seem to stand in a fixed position to watch.

You can also walk from a track by the shore near to Tarifa Castle at the Eastern edge of the town.

Passerine migration in the nearby trees & scrub shouldn't be ignored here and rarities like Rougequeue de Moussier have been found in the past. It is also worth walking up along the track to towards the coastguards' station on the hill and the old gun emplacement beyond as birds often drift along the valley giving good photo opportunities

There is a hide with shade.
