We're flying to Jerez at the tail end of August, staying a week probably in Conil de la Frontera so we can do a bit of beach lazing for a day or so in between getting out and about. I'm looking for advice on places to visit for birdwatching.
Is Donana worthwhile at this time of year? I read a bit somewhere that said the midges are awful and there is not much to see as it is all dried up. If we do go, is it worth driving all the way round to the main entrance or is the boat trip from Sanllucar (I think?) worthwhile?
I love raptors and would really love to see some migrating osprey and also vultures or in fact any raptor, so we're going to head down to Tarifa way in the hope of seeing migartory birds. Any tips for best place to watch from? And is there a particular area to head to for vultures that any of you could recommend?
On a non-birding front can I cheekily ask if anyone has done any dolphin & whale watching trips from either Gibraltar or Tarifa and if so which particular operators they would recommend?
Just any and all advice is welcome and appreciated. It's just the two of us so no children to keep occupied and we're fairly free to travel reasonable distances as we'll have a hire car.
