​A great place for endemic kanariebuskskvätta , ökentrumpetare , kanariepiplärka and waders such as enkelbeckasin , skogssnäppa and styltlöpare this Barranco has been a hotspot for pygmérördrom. There is a recycling centre close by which is a magnet for gulls and raptors, smutsgam , ormvråk , sparvhök , tornfalk while on the track down lots of small birds are in the hedgerows.

Extra information

Alternative to decending into the Barranco is to stay on the top and view using a scope or binoculars, this is an easier route if you have difficulty walking. Theres also an easier route from the other end of the Barranco where you can park your car and follow the track which takes you on the opposite side of the ravine. I didnt use this so dont have many details, this can be found by adding Barranco de la Cabras in the sat nav.
