Description
Regardless of the landscape aspect, a visit to Siurana is also justified from an ornithological point of view. Surrounded by large cliffs and with spectacular views over the nearby Sierra del Monsant, Siurana allows the observation of species from Mediterranean environments and strictly rocky environments. From the village you will see the Siurana reservoir, which collects the waters of the river of the same name, but it is not interesting for waterfowl. Any time of year is good if you take out the summer, when on the other hand it will be difficult for you to find parking. From the same village it is possible to observe Синий каменный дрозд and in winter Альпийская завирушка are seen within the village itself. Very occasionally Стенолаз can also be observed. The star bird of prey is the Ястребиный орёл but its observation is far from guaranteed. If you go to Siurana you can have lunch in a rural or design restaurant. You can take a path that follows the cliff along the southern slope of the village to the east. If you follow it you can get down to the river, but after that you have to go up !!! An alternative is that before or after visiting the village you stop by the fields around Cornudella or the Siurana river, especially in winter.
