Spotting vultures
On the search for the bearded vulture!
After a beautiful trip by car you arrive at the starting point, here you have the opportunity to visit a dolmen and you can do a hike of about an hour to walk along three beautiful ancient chapels. Since the first village is almost at the peak of a mountain, you walk around this peak, and have great views. You'll often see vultures circling next to you and above you.
However, the ‘vultures show’ really starts at the viewpoint, where you enter after a short drive into the national park. From the parking lot it’s a half hour walk to the viewpoint, where you are guaranteed to see vultures. Always the griffon vulture, but more than 50% of the times we have been there, we have spotted the rare bearded vulture there…
When you’re lucky you have (besides griffon vultures and the bearded vulture) the chance to see a golden eagle and egyptian vultures.
And every day during your holiday in our region, you also have a chance to see red kites and for example snake eagles. The Spanish Pyrenees are a true paradise for ornithologists. A group of Belgian ornithologists recently spotted over 100 species of birds in one week!
