Bird watching in Andalucia
If you are a keen birdwatcher or simply enjoy being among our feathered friends, Hotel Sindhura is the perfect place for you. The area around Vejer de la Frontera is a birdwatcher’s paradise.
Location
In the surroundings of Vejer there are authentic bird paradises, as the Strait of Gibraltar, together with the Bosphorus and the Italian Peninsula, are the main migratory passages between Europe and Africa.
Even if you are just taking a walk or visiting one of the Natural Parks that surround us, all easily accessible from the Hotel, you will experience the delights of an Ornithologist.
Coastal area
The coastal area is of great interest with the Bahía de Cádiz, the Strait and La Breña y Marismas natural parks (in the latter the Hermitage Project is carried out, which consists of the reproduction and introduction of the Northern Bald Ibis, a highly threatened bird). . The natural parks of Grazalema and Los Alcornocales are also very close.
Oh, and we must not forget to mention the incredible sunsets, also visible from the Sindhura Hotel!
Doñana national park
Just over an hour away, you’ll find the Doñana National Park, which is immensely rich in birdlife, particularly waterbirds. It is also home to one of our winged treasures: the Iberian imperial eagle, which nests there. The park has an excellent network of observatories and walkways available to the public. It’s a perfect destination for birdwatching in Andalusia.
