Beskrivning
La Higuerilla is a great spot to look for birds of prey. In 2024 I found 3 different grågam nests in the oaks on the other side of the river, although some diligent scanning is required to find them. Also easily seen in spring and summer are Brun glada, ormörn and dvärgörn.
Be sure to check the riverbanks for fishing svart stork. On- and around the river gråhäger, Silkeshäger and Storskarv are present most of the time, as well as purpurhäger sometimes. Pay attention to the calls of rödhöna, which often can be found in the scrubland or even crossing the road.

La Higuerilla is easily reached from Villareal de San Carlos. It is the third viewpoint (on the left side of the road) after passing the Torrejon-Tietar dam. You can park next to the viewpoint. Press P on the map for directions.
