Summary

On this ‘Go Slow’ birdwatching and natural history holiday we focus solely on the wealth of birdlife in Spain’s Extremadura region. We begin our holiday with a direct flight to Seville. From there we travel north to our comfortable base, a lovely country house a few miles south of Trujillo, where we spend seven relaxed nights. From this welcoming and homely base, we will explore at a gentle pace a range of habitats. Each day will feature an optional pre-breakfast walk, an unhurried post-breakfast start, a chance to look around the picturesque and historic town of Trujillo, and plenty of time back at base to unwind, take a swim and freshen up before a delicious homemade dinner.

On this ‘Go Slow’ birdwatching and natural history holiday we focus solely on the wealth of birdlife in Spain’s Extremadura region. We begin our holiday with direct flights to Seville (extensions gladly arranged on request), from where we travel north to our comfortable base in the heart of the Extremadura countryside. It is here that we spend seven relaxed nights. From this welcoming and homely base, we will explore at a gentle pace a range of habitats, from the undulating, sun-drenched steppes and shimmering plains to the oak-forested hills of Monfragüe National Park. Each day will feature an optional pre-breakfast walk, an unhurried post-breakfast start, an option to explore the picturesque and historic town of Trujillo, and plenty of time back at base to unwind, take a swim and freshen up before a delicious homemade dinner.
