Andalucia is great for twitchers. We have vultures and eagles in the mountains and waders and sea birds in the coastal areas. Many birdwatching sites in Andalucia are protected, such as the Donana and Sierra de Grazelema, providing refuges for many resident and migratory birds. As a bonus the south western tip of Andalucia is directly below the flight path of the migratory birds making their way to and from the colder northern climes to Africa.
