Lynx and Lammergeier

Our wildlife holiday in Southern Spain offers a very good chance to see the Iberian Lynx, one of the rarest cats in the world. A fantastic single centre holiday in eastern Andalucia, with early mornings and late evenings to optimise the chances of seeing this enigmatic feline. Wildlife watching opportunities include other mammals such as Otter, Wild Boar, Spanish Ibex and Mouflon, while birds include local specialities such as Lammergeier, Spanish Imperial Eagle, Azure-winged Magpie, Marbled & White-headed Duck, bustards and sandgrouse. Minibus transport throughout and easy walking.

"Seeing excellent views of Lynx, wonderful views of raptors (especially vultures), scenery, group dynamic, great views of lots of birds - I could go on!"
Marion Hession, Andujar-Lynx1/2023
