Extremadura, one of Europe’s top birding destinations, offers wide open steppes, endless horizons, bright blue skies, delicious jamón ibérico and velvety-smooth red wine at a fraction of the price we would pay at home. This birdwatching holiday explores some of the less well-known areas of Extremadura. Our base for the week will be a former stately home, now converted into an extremely comfortable 5-star spa hotel, on the outskirts of Caceres. Each day, we will set out to explore other bird-rich habitats, from lakes and rivers to steppes and woodlands, looking for a wide range of species. 

  • Explore a new part of Extremadura, to the west of our existing holidays
  • A 5-star spa hotel is our base
  • Raptors including Griffon and Egyptian Vulture, Bonelli’s and Spanish Imperial Eagle
  • Bee-eaters, Rollers, Hoopoes, a variety of warblers
  • Bustards and sandgrouse
  • Explore historic Caceres and Merida

 

[introduction] => An 8-day birdwatching holiday focusing on a lesser-known corner of Extremadura, based in a fabulous former stately home near Caceres. [edges] => Array ( ) [locations] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [name] => Spain [description] =>

Our wildlife tours in Spain focus on the outstanding habitats that remain in this wonderful country – the second largest in western Europe. While enjoying some outstanding birding, mammal-watching, butterflying or botany, we also enjoy plenty of the warm hospitality beloved by Spaniards, together with tasty regional cuisine and some of the world’s smoothest and best-value wines.  Amongst our favourite areas in Spain are the jagged mountains of the Picos de Europa and Pyrenees, while the sun-kissed steppes of Extremadura also hold a special appeal, as do the world-class wetlands of Coto Donana and the migration hotspot of Tarifa.


From extensive deciduous forests to alpine meadows and expansive steppe and wetlands, we offer tours that go in search of particularly charismatic species such as Iberian Lynx and Iberian Wolves, while other holidays are more general in their appeal, enjoying whatever birds, butterflies and alpine flowers that we come across, all in spectacular settings.

In short, Spain’s warm, friendly people, delicious food, diverse landscapes, pleasant climate and superb wildlife make it an excellent choice for a natural history holiday.

Spain’s Extremadura region is well known for its wealth of birdlife. Its rolling, sun-drenched steppes and rugged sierras are some of the richest and least disturbed grassland habitats in Europe, providing optimal conditions for the world’s largest population of Great and Little Bustards, Black Vulture and other birds threatened throughout their entire global ranges. Visitors during late April and early May hope to witness one of Europe’s most enthralling bird spectacles; the breeding display of the Great Bustard, the world’s heaviest flying bird. During this the males convert themselves, by a series of bizarre distortions, into huge white balls of feathers that revolve slowly in an almost military step (the ‘foam bath display’). While Great Bustards look stately and dignified, Little Bustards perform an awkward, head-throwing action accompanied by a comical buzzing sound.

Monfragüe National Park and the surrounding forests offer an entirely different habitat type and associated avifaunal assemblage within the beautuful Cork Oak woodlands. Here, one might hope for such species as Great Spotted Cuckoo, Eurasian Hoopoe, Short-toed Treecreeper, both Woodchat and Southern Grey Shrike, Azure-winged Magpie and the localised and much sought-after Black-shouldered Kite, as well as many other birds of prey including Egyptian, Black and Griffon Vultures and breeding Golden, Spanish Imperial, Bonelli’s, Booted and Short-toed Eagles. Amongst other exciting specialities are Black Stork and Eagle Owl, whilst the smaller and more abundant occupants of the hills include Alpine Swift, Thekla Lark, Crag Martin, Red-rumped Swallow, Black Wheatear, Blue Rock Thrush, Subalpine Warbler and Chough.

The big skies and open landscapes of Extremadura, together with the exciting variety of special birds, never ceases to impress even the most well-travelled naturalist! The ancient town of Trujillo offers an excellent base from which to explore the region and, with its beautiful old medieval centre, spectacular mansions built by the Pizarro brothers (leaders of the Spanish expedition to the Inca Empire in South America) and Lesser Kestrels and White Storks which breed on the rooftops, is worth investigation in its own right.

Extremadura is undoubtedly one of Europe’s most attractive destinations for a birdwatching holiday, the land of the conquistadors offering wide open steppes, endless horizons, bright blue skies, bustards, larks, raptors, Bee-eaters and Rollers, delicious jamón ibérico and velvety-smooth red wine at a fraction of the price we would pay at home. Our current Naturetrek tours in Extremadura include a single-centre ‘Go Slow’ tour, a birdwatching holiday for beginners, an annual Christmas tour, and tours combining Extremadura with either Coto Doñana or the Gredos Mountains. This holiday, however, explores some of the less well-known areas of Extremadura, further to the west, that we do not visit during our other holidays.

After a flight to Madrid we will drive to our comfortable base for the week, a former stately home in the outskirts of Cáceres now lovingly converted into a fine spa hotel. The hotel's restaurant is a real culinary reference point around Cáceres, both for the fine traditional Extremaduran cuisine on offer and for the impressive wine list, much of which is produced locally. Another highlight of staying here is the opportunity to view the custom-built nesting platforms within the ancient olive grove in the hotel's grounds, where at least 30 pairs of White Storks breed annually.

The city of Cáceres itself is quite remarkable in terms of its historical importance. Indeed, the oldest cave paintings in the world, believed to be the work of Neanderthals and over 64,000 years old, are located here, in the Cave of Maltravieso. Although the cave is not open to the public, we will certainly make time to explore the Roman, Moorish and Gothic architecture of the old town, where White Storks, Lesser Kestrels, Pallid Swifts and Barn Owls all nest on or within the historic buildings.

The surrounding countryside offers steppe habitat and Cork Oak woodland in which we will search for a wide range of species, some populations of which are of great importance on a European scale, including Cinereous and Egyptian Vultures, Spanish Imperial Eagle, Black Stork and Lesser Kestrel. The sweeping grasslands, for which Extremadura is so well known, will see us combing the undulating landscape for highly sought-after, but declining, open-country species such as Great and Little Bustard, Black-bellied Sandgrouse, Pin-tailed Sandgrouse and Stone-curlew.

At this time of year, heaths and patches of woodland will be alive with birds having just completed their arduous migration from sub-Saharan Africa, such as Bee-eater, Hoopoe, Roller, Golden Oriole and Woodchat Shrike, and we will be sure to explore thoroughly in search of these attractive species. Although Extremadura is not noted for its wetlands, pockets of suitable habitat do exist for birds such as Little Bittern, Glossy Ibis, Black-crowned Night Heron, Penduline Tit and Great Reed Warbler. 

A visit to a bird hide on the plains will be a particular highlight of the week. Here, bones and offal are placed out for the birds of prey and we can hope to enjoy close encounters with Black Kite, Griffon and Black Vultures and, if fortunate, perhaps Spanish Imperial Eagle or Egyptian Vulture.

Extremadura's principal river is the Guadiana, which cuts through the region's capital, Merida. This ancient city was founded by the Romans in around 25BC and draws visitors keen to see its Roman theatre and the longest Roman bridge in Spain. We will spend a day in and around Merida to appreciate those monuments and to enjoy some gentle birding, with Red-rumped Swallows darting under the Roman bridge perhaps being one of the highlights.

Although we aim to visit the less well-known (in terms of birdwatching) corners of Extremadura during this holiday, we do make one exception, Monfragüe National Park. A holiday to Extremadura can feel incomplete without a visit to this jewel in the crown, so we will spend a full day here combining stops to scan with short walking routes in search of some of the park's wonderful birdlife, including Spanish Imperial Eagle, Blue Rock Thrush and Black Stork.

Each day, an optional early bird walk will precede breakfast, following which we will set out to explore other bird-rich habitats, from lakes and rivers to steppes and woodlands, looking for a wide range of species including Cinereous and Egyptian Vultures, Golden and Bonelli’s Eagles, Bee-eaters, Rollers, Hoopoes, a variety of warblers and herons, Great and Little Bustards, and both Pin-tailed and Black-bellied Sandgrouse. On each day we will aim to be back at our hotel well before dinner, so there should be time to enjoy the spa; we will also offer optional evening and night-time walks after dinner on some days in search of insects and amphibians.

Whether you are contemplating your first visit to Spain or have already spent time birdwatching in Extremadura, please do consider this exciting and varied itinerary; the exceptional base is particularly suitable for those who would prefer to dip in and out of the daily excursions offered.

accommodation from which to explore the delights of Coto Doñana. With its whitewashed buildings (that include a magnificent church) and its sandy streets, there is something of the American Wild West about this picturesque village. The hotel sits on the shores of the Madre de las Marismas; part of one of the finest wetlands in Europe with excellent prospects for the keen birder. Guests can enjoy delicious fare and local manzanilla sherries from the restaurant whilst taking in far reaching views across the wetlands, which can include Black-crowned Night Herons leaving their roosts in the evenings. Pre-dinner strolls along the promenade are often rewarded with such species as Purple Gallinule, Little Bittern, Nightingale, Cetti’s Warbler, Bee-eater, Shoveler, Pintail, Greater Flamingoes and Glossy Ibis.

Each room is rustically decorated in a Mediterranean style, with its own facilities, and most feature a cosy fireplace for cooler nights. The terrace that surrounds the outdoor swimming pool affords far flung views, which can be enjoyed with a refreshing drink from the on-site bar. Júzcar has an interesting quirk; the village used to be a typically white-washed Spanish settlement until it was painted blue when used as the location for “The Smurfs” movie! For those interested in culture, it is also excellently placed for a visit to the great white town of Ronda, which lies 20 kilometres away.

Summary

Extremadura is undoubtedly one of Europe’s most attractive destinations for a birdwatching holiday, the land of the conquistadors offering wide open steppes, endless horizons, bright blue skies, bustards, larks, raptors, Bee-eaters and Rollers, delicious jamón ibérico and velvety-smooth red wine at a fraction of the price we would pay at home. Our current Naturetrek tours in Extremadura include a single-centre ‘Go Slow’ tour, a birdwatching holiday for beginners, an annual Christmas tour, and tours combining Extremadura with either Coto Doñana or the Gredos Mountains. This holiday, however, explores some of the less well-known areas of Extremadura, further to the west, that we do not visit during our other holidays.

After a flight to Madrid we will drive to our comfortable base for the week, a former stately home in the outskirts of Cáceres now lovingly converted into a fine spa hotel. The hotel's restaurant is a real culinary reference point around Cáceres, both for the fine traditional Extremaduran cuisine on offer and for the impressive wine list, much of which is produced locally. Another highlight of staying here is the opportunity to view the custom-built nesting platforms within the ancient olive grove in the hotel's grounds, where at least 30 pairs of White Storks breed annually.

The city of Cáceres itself is quite remarkable in terms of its historical importance. Indeed, the oldest cave paintings in the world, believed to be the work of Neanderthals and over 64,000 years old, are located here, in the Cave of Maltravieso. Although the cave is not open to the public, we will certainly make time to explore the Roman, Moorish and Gothic architecture of the old town, where White Storks, Lesser Kestrels, Pallid Swifts and Barn Owls all nest on or within the historic buildings.

The surrounding countryside offers steppe habitat and Cork Oak woodland in which we will search for a wide range of species, some populations of which are of great importance on a European scale, including Cinereous and Egyptian Vultures, Spanish Imperial Eagle, Black Stork and Lesser Kestrel. The sweeping grasslands, for which Extremadura is so well known, will see us combing the undulating landscape for highly sought-after, but declining, open-country species such as Great and Little Bustard, Black-bellied Sandgrouse, Pin-tailed Sandgrouse and Stone-curlew.

At this time of year, heaths and patches of woodland will be alive with birds having just completed their arduous migration from sub-Saharan Africa, such as Bee-eater, Hoopoe, Roller, Golden Oriole and Woodchat Shrike, and we will be sure to explore thoroughly in search of these attractive species. Although Extremadura is not noted for its wetlands, pockets of suitable habitat do exist for birds such as Little Bittern, Glossy Ibis, Black-crowned Night Heron, Penduline Tit and Great Reed Warbler. 

A visit to a bird hide on the plains will be a particular highlight of the week. Here, bones and offal are placed out for the birds of prey and we can hope to enjoy close encounters with Black Kite, Griffon and Black Vultures and, if fortunate, perhaps Spanish Imperial Eagle or Egyptian Vulture.

Extremadura's principal river is the Guadiana, which cuts through the region's capital, Merida. This ancient city was founded by the Romans in around 25BC and draws visitors keen to see its Roman theatre and the longest Roman bridge in Spain. We will spend a day in and around Merida to appreciate those monuments and to enjoy some gentle birding, with Red-rumped Swallows darting under the Roman bridge perhaps being one of the highlights.

Although we aim to visit the less well-known (in terms of birdwatching) corners of Extremadura during this holiday, we do make one exception, Monfragüe National Park. A holiday to Extremadura can feel incomplete without a visit to this jewel in the crown, so we will spend a full day here combining stops to scan with short walking routes in search of some of the park's wonderful birdlife, including Spanish Imperial Eagle, Blue Rock Thrush and Black Stork.

Each day, an optional early bird walk will precede breakfast, following which we will set out to explore other bird-rich habitats, from lakes and rivers to steppes and woodlands, looking for a wide range of species including Cinereous and Egyptian Vultures, Golden and Bonelli’s Eagles, Bee-eaters, Rollers, Hoopoes, a variety of warblers and herons, Great and Little Bustards, and both Pin-tailed and Black-bellied Sandgrouse. On each day we will aim to be back at our hotel well before dinner, so there should be time to enjoy the spa; we will also offer optional evening and night-time walks after dinner on some days in search of insects and amphibians.

Whether you are contemplating your first visit to Spain or have already spent time birdwatching in Extremadura, please do consider this exciting and varied itinerary; the exceptional base is particularly suitable for those who would prefer to dip in and out of the daily excursions offered.
