The two reserves of la Lomaza and el Planerón (also described on this website) both hold enough vékonycsőrű pacsirta to sustain a healthy population, and to attract a large number of birders to this part of Spain in early spring. Other special birds you can see here are Kalandrapacsirta, kormos hantmadár, nyílfarkú pusztaityúk, Ugartyúk and kövi pacsirta.

Comments & Tips

Marten Wesselius (2024-03-19)

Very few birds. Only 4 species of lark and 2 vörös fogoly. The brick factory is very annoying with noise and a lot of dust.
