Beschrijving

This site offers the option of two circular walks. One of 2-3 km and other (Sendero El Palancar) of c8km. The longer circuit takes you along the edge of a large reservoir (Embalse de Charco Redondo) but you should see most of the birds the area has to offer on the shorter walk. Both routes snake through woodland and open areas. The woodlands hold Iberische Tjiftjaf, Bergfluiter and Kuifmees, open woodland areas have Cirlgors and Boomleeuwerik and the low scrub a veriety of ‘Sylvia’ warblers such as Grasmus, Kleine Zwartkop and Provençaalse Grasmus. At the start of the walk you have a good view to the south across the main road as it passes over the Puerta de Valdespera. This makes it a good location to watch the movement of raptors in spring and autumn when Dwergarend, Zwarte Wouw, Wespendief and the odd Aasgier (plus Zwarte Ooievaar) pass through. Vale Gier, Slangenarend, Sperwer and Buizerd frequently appear but you need a good deal of luck to spot Havikarend or Havik here although both are possible. The reservoir may also attract passing Visarend. During passage periods expect Bijeneter and pretty much any small passerine migrant.

Extra info

As noted above for the less energetic the shorter should produce most of the birds but walking along the reservoir may give you a chance of Visarend. On the shorter walk look out en route for a couple of ancient cave shelters (in later years the haunt of charcoal burners and, allegedly, a refuge of bandits and brigands).
