Chameleon sites around Malaga? (1 Viewer)

[broadbill]

Hello. I'm heading out to Spain soon staying around 1.5 hours north of Malaga, to try and see Spanish Lynx. I'd also love to see Chameleon on this trip also as I've never seen them previously. I've got a couple of sites from previous threads in SW Spain, but just wondered if anybody knew of any other good sites nearer the Malaga area which is much quicker for me to get to from my base. Many thanks.

There are some around nerja that are mentioned in the 50 European wildlife weekends book. I’ll have a look at details later and post

Many thanks, will definitely give that walk a try. Thanks for taking the time to look it up...

I have seen them on trees at the Technology Park in Campanillas (36.731939, -4.549892 is the entrance) when I have been visiting the various pools for dragonflies.
You can download a pdf at the bottom of Anfibios y reptiles de la Gran Senda de Málaga y provincia - which takes you to https://static.malaga.es/malaga/subidas/archivos/0/6/arc_338660_v3.pdf.
An english language pdf of the sections of the Gran Senda can be found at Topoguide GR 249 Great Málaga Path (edition November 2021). Unfortunately there's no english language translation of the amphibians pdf!
